What’s Next for the ICE ? • Next meeting- September 7-8 in DC • Broadening outreach to include more countries with injury experts interested in data-related activities • Following-up on Cuernavaca meeting to foster focus on surveillance of nonfatal injuries • Establishing workgroups on measuring severity and defining indicators • Seeking guidance on funding sources…..

  10. International injury death rate comparisons Based on data provided from Cuernavaca meeting participants in June 2005, updated to reflect most recent data years available for each country

  11. Age-adjusted injury death rates: most recent years available ranging from 2000-2004

  12. Age-adjusted injury death rates by intent: most recent years available ranging from 2000-2004

  13. Injury death rates for children 1-14 years: most recent years available ranging from 2000-2004 In most countries, motor vehicle-traffic deaths are the leading cause of injury death for this age group; in some countries, drowning leads all other causes of fatal injury.

  14. Injury death rates for teens and young adults 15-24 years- most recent years available ranging from 2000-2004

  15. Injury death rates for persons 35-54 years of age: most recent years available ranging from 2000-2004

  16. Injury death rates for persons 65 years and older: most recent years available ranging from 2000-2004 With few exceptions, falls are the leading cause of injury death. Exceptions include PR, Argentina, S Africa and Colombia where MVT was the leading cause.
