Injury and Neighborhood Marginalization: Does it Matter Where You Live?Lee, Patricia Pui Shuen 15 February 2010 (has links)
Background: Injury is an enormous public health problem in Canada. Recent studies have suggested that characteristics of the residential environment, particularly neighborhood marginalization, may be important in determining injury risk.
Objective: To determine whether there is an association between neighborhood marginalization and injury in the largest urban cities of Ontario.
Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional, ecological study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between neighborhood marginalization and injury in 0-64 year olds who resided in the ten largest cities of Ontario between 2003-2005.
Results: Neighborhoods with high levels of ethnic diversity had significantly lower rates of unintentional injuries, neighborhoods with high levels of material deprivation had significantly higher rates of assaults, and neighborhoods with high levels of residential instability and material deprivation had significantly higher rates of self-inflicted injuries in adults.
Conclusions: The association between neighborhood marginalization and injury differs depending on the type of injury examined.
