A Cross-Sectional Survey of Unintentional Injuries Among 15-24-Year-Old Vocational School Youth From Pakistan Between 2021-2022
Bibliographic Data
There is a lack of recent data on the incidence of unintentional injuries and occupational injuries from Pakistan, among youth 15 to 24 years of age. This survey was conducted among vocational school youth in Peshawar, Pakistan (2021-22). Parental consent and assent were obtained for students T were tobacco use adjusted IRR = 1.25 (95% CI: 1.05-2.69, P = .049), not using a seat belt adjusted IRR = 1.3 (95% CI: 1.14-1.69, P P = .034), lack of father's education adjusted IRR = 4.71 (95% CI: 2.12-10.49, P P = .039), larger household size (≥8 members), with an adjusted IRR of 3.59 (95% CI: 3.11-5.07, P P = .049), but this association was not significant after adjustment (adjusted IRR = 1.61, 95% CI: 0.8-3.27, P = .184). Marital status and mother's education were not significantly associated with UI T. This study on vocational youth in Pakistan highlights the critical need for targeted interventions. We recommend prioritizing stricter enforcement of traffic laws, implementing public awareness campaigns specifically for vocational youth, and providing subsidized safety equipment, such as helmets. Furthermore, integrating comprehensive road safety and health education into vocational training curricula is crucial. By addressing these critical areas, significant reduction in injury rates and improved safety and well-being of this vulnerable population may be realized
