In 2000, the Nova Scotia Child Safety & Injury Prevention Program, in collaboration with the Population Health Research Unit of Dalhousie University, released a comprehensive report on injuries among the children & youth of Nova Scotia. The current report attempts to extend that picture of injury to those 16 years & older to complete the epidemiologic profile of injury in Nova Scotia. Researchers found that the highest overall mortality rates were due to suicide, motor vehicle accidents & falls. Findings are discussed in detail. (15 refs)
