【 摘 要 】

Background: Adolescent injuries and fatalities constitute a world health concern and present a major public health burden. Of all childhood injuries in Israel 61.8% occur during road traffic crashes. The risk of being injured or killed in a road traffic crash is especially high among individuals deemed to have a low socio-economic status, but, there also exist crucial risk factors for road traffic crashes that are intrinsic social determinants of health, including behavior, lifestyle, education and employment. These associations are explored in this study.
