1 INJURY - A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM IN HAWAII Injuries are responsible for more deaths of children and young adults in Hawaii from age one through age 0 years than all other causes combined, including heart disease, stroke and cancer. Among residents of all ages, injury is the third leading cause of death, behind only heart disease and cancer, but ahead of cerebrovascular disease, influenza and, and diabetes. Although the greatest impact of injury is in human suffering, the financial cost is staggering - medical treatment for generates nearly $90 million in hospital charges each year in Hawaii. Mortality statistics do not convey the full extent of the injury problem, however. Fatal represent less than % of all requiring medical attention. Although fatal are the most severe, the vast majority of are non-fatal, and in some respects, have much greater public health implications. On an average week in Hawaii residents die from an injury, another 09 are hospitalized and nearly,00 others are treated in emergency departments. Injuries, however, are not accidents. They are neither random nor uncontrollable. Injuries are understandable, predictable and preventable. The first step in understanding and preventing is to collect and analyze data. Answers to questions like How serious is the problem?, Who has the problem? and What are the circumstances under which it occurs? help determine the answers to questions such as What causes it? and What can we do about it?
