BackgroundThe use of off-road vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and recreational off-highway vehicles has increased in recent years. A higher percentage of patients hospitalised following ATV crashes suffered severe injuries, compared with those hospitalised following other MVCs.ObjectiveTo identify incidence of ATV-related injury and characterise groups with higher prevalence.MethodsA retrospective study of the Israel National Trauma Registry data between years 2008 and 2016. ATV crash victims were compared with other types of MVC casualties according to demographics, injuries and hospital resource utilisation. Identifying groups with greater prevalence for severe injuries caused by ATV crashes was conducted using logistic regressions.ResultsAn increase of 49% in the number of casualties hospitalised following an ATV crash was observed between 2013 and 2016. Non-Jews, males and users 15–29 years old were hospitalised at a higher rate compared with their proportion in the population. ATV crash casualties were more severely injured compared with other MVC casualties (22% vs 14%), had longer hospital length of stay (8+ days) (25% vs 18%), more admissions to intensive care units (16% vs 10%) and underwent more surgery (39% vs 26%, respectively). Males, non-Jews and casualties who did not wear a helmet were about two times more likely to suffer from severe head injury (95% CI 1.20 to 3.60, 1.41 to 2.75 and 1.27 to 4.73, respectively).ConclusionsAn increase in ATV-related casualties was observed. A customised safety intervention programme is needed that targets demographic groups identified with higher injury incidence. Awareness of legislated and common sense ATV safety practices, specifically helmet use, should be raised.

“…The distributive dimension of a public transportation provision has long been recognized as a key aspect of transportation equity (Banister, 2018;Hay, 1993;Pereira et al, 2017;Verlinghieri and Schwanen, 2020). The past decade has witnessed growing concerns over the equity effects of public transportation investments (Bocarejo and Oviedo, 2012;Golub and Martens, 2014;Karou and Hull, 2014), particularly railway transit projects, which are increasingly being constructed worldwide (Bhandari et al, 2009;Bianco et al, 2015;Dorantes et al, 2011;Kim and Sultana, 2015;Weckström et al, 2019). In general, equity refers to the fairness and justice with which the benefits and costs of transportation projects are distributed.…”

Since 2011, the SOPHIE project has accumulated evidence regarding the influence of social and economic policies on population health levels, as well as on health inequalities according to socioeconomic position, gender, and immigrant status. Through comparative analyses and evaluation case studies across Europe, SOPHIE has shown how these health inequalities vary according to contexts in macroeconomics, social protection, labor market, built environment, housing, gender equity, and immigrant integration and may be reduced by equity-oriented policies in these fields. These studies can help public health and social justice advocates to build a strong case for fairer social and economic policies that will lead to the reduction of health inequalities that most governments have included among their policy goals. In this article, we summarize the main findings and policy implications of the SOPHIE project and the lessons learned on civil society participation in research and results communication.
