Examination of Racial Disparities in Adolescents Seen in the Emergency Department for Head, Neck, or Brain Injury
2020, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Additionally, black children and patients from families with public health insurance are also more likely to not be admitted into a hospital after head injury, further emphasizing the incomprehensible race-related disadvantages in comorbidity and health care (9). Racial disparities and inequities have been considered to be the result of socioeconomic status (SES), as children from low SES and poor families are at greater risk of injury (10). Children under the age of 16 years who reside in areas of deprivation and low SES are more likely to report to the ED than children in less deprived areas (5).
Evaluation of Early Childhood Home Visiting to Prevent Medically Attended Unintentional Injury
2017, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Interventions for the prevention of pediatric unintentional injury often target the home environment, which is the most common location of unintentional injury in this population.3,4 Early childhood home visiting is an intervention delivered in the home environment and may prevent unintentional injury among high-risk children, including those who live in poverty, who live in single parent households, or who have young mothers.5-7 Editor’s Capsule Summary
Geographical analysis of socioeconomic factors in risk of domestic burn injury in London 2007-2013
2015, BurnsCitation Excerpt :In the 2011 Census of the United Kingdom population, the Greater London metropolitan area is officially the most populous city in Europe, with a population of approximately 8 million [18]. There is evidence of widespread variation in unintentional injury rates across London attributable to socioeconomic factors [19–22]. However, there have not been any studies of population burn injury rates or risk in London.
Epidemiology of paediatric minor head injury: Comparison of injury characteristics with Indices of Multiple Deprivation
2013, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Socioeconomic status has been found to be an important predictor of childhood injuries more generally. Several researchers have found that children from socially disadvantaged and poor families are at greater risk of injuries [37,38]. Khambalia et al. in a systematic review of fall injuries in 0–6 year olds, found low SES, male sex and young age were risk factors [10].
Fatal crash involvement of unlicensed young drivers: County level differences according to material deprivation and urbanicity in the United States
2012, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :The index was developed in the United Kingdom as a direct measure of area deprivation (Townsend, 1967). The index has been used in mortality and morbidity epidemiological studies to assess local area deprivation conditions (Hippisley-Cox et al., 2002; Jordan et al., 2006; Laing and Logan, 1999; Stjärne et al., 2004). Material deprivation scores were determined from summing four county-level variables from the 2000 US Census.
Individual factors explain neighbourhood variations in accidents to children under 5 years of age
2008, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Although this does not introduce bias, it will weaken any associations measured between social factors and accidents. This may partly explain the weaker relationship between Townsend deprivation scores and accidents than those shown in other studies from the UK (Hippisley-Cox et al., 2002; Laing & Logan, 1999; Walsh & Jarvis, 1992). The cohort as a whole is also known to under-represent certain groups, notably ethnic minorities (ALSPAC, 2007).
