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)
