Socioeconomic Inequalities in Injury: Critical Issues in Design and Analysis

Abstract: s Abstract Injuries continue to place a tremendous burden on the public's health and rates vary widely among different groups in the population. Increasing attention has recently been given to the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) as a determinant of health among both individuals and communities. However, relatively few studies have focused on the influence of SES and injuries. Furthermore, those that have, and the other injury studies that have included measures of SES in their analysis, have varying degr… Show more

“…Associations between SES and accidental death have been documented in the epidemiological literature (Cubbin and Smith 2002) and investigations of SES as a fundamental cause of mortality have harnessed growing support Phelan and Link 2005;Phelan et al 2004) for the theory. Social support is also leveraged toward better health and social scientists have long connected the benefits of social relationships, particularly those relating to the family, to health (Durkheim [1897] 1951).…”

“…Injury prevention literature has established SES as an important element of injuries incidence and accident mortality (Barss et al 1998;Cubbin and Smith 2002;Hosking et al 2011;Kposowa and Breault 2009). Accidental deaths disproportionately burden persons of lower SES because they experience greater exposure to hazardous environments, lack high-quality and safe equipment to protect themselves, and suffer greater consequences resulting from injury (Burrows et al 2012).…”
