GBD 2019: Adolescent Transport and Unintentional Injuries
2022
This article from The Lancet Public Health analyzes mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) due to transport and unintentional injuries for adolescents in 204 countries worldwide, using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019. The paper aims to present trends in injury-related mortality and morbidity for adolescents, and analyzes data by sex, age group, and socioeconomic status. The report presents mortality data for adolescents aged 10 to 24 years from 1990 to 2019, evaluating the changes in number of deaths over time, and comparing injury death rates by sex and country.
Led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, GBD is a global effort with researchers from over 150 countries and territories. IHME and other partnering organizations have developed numerous resources to disseminate and visualize the findings of the GBD studies, data visualizations and interactives, country profiles, policy reports, research articles, infographics, and the GBD Results Tool, which allows users to search GBD data.
