Ethnicity & health
-
. In Israel, nearly 10,000 children are hospitalized due to injury every year. ⋯ The findings of this study show that there is variability in external cause of injury and severity by age and ethnic group. Falls were most frequent among young children and burns among non-Jews. Non-Jewish children in SES clusters 1-4 are at high risk for falls from height, suggesting intervention and prevention activities should be directed in this direction.
