safety: intentional and unintentional injuries
Injury and violence are the leading cause of
death among youth 5–19: motor vehicle crashes
(31 percent of all deaths), all other
unintentional injuries (12 percent), homicide
(15 percent), and suicide (12 percent). Highly
associated with these injuries are adolescent
behaviors such as physical fights, carrying
weapons and not using seatbelts.
