Step 1. Which measure do you wish to focus on?

Number of Injury Deaths

Injury Death Rate (per 100,000 population)

Age-adjusted Injury Death Rate (per 100,000 population)

Age-adjusted Injury Death Rate for Selected Age Groups  Note

Average Age at Death

Ranked Underlying Causes of Injury Death: Counts

Ranked Underlying Causes of Injury Death: Rates
