为了分析加纳报纸上的交通伤害报道并找出改善道路安全的机会，对两种国有报纸和两种私营报纸 2005 年至 2006 年版的 240 篇有关道路交通伤害的文章内容进行了审查。这些文章包括车祸报道（37%）、评论（33%）、信息文章（12%）、行人伤害报道（10%）和社论（8%）。行人受伤事件几乎没有报道，而行人受伤事件占加纳交通死亡人数的一半，但仅占报纸报道的 22%。只有两篇文章报道了安全带的使用。公共报纸和私人报纸的报道模式相似，但私人报纸比公共报纸（32%，p=0.006）更常推荐政府行动（50%）。结论是，加纳报纸提供了交通伤害的详细报道。需要改进的领域包括行人伤害以及对可预防风险因素的关注，例如道路风险因素、安全带的使用、速度控制和饮酒。
In order to analyse traffic injury reporting in Ghanaian newspapers and identify opportunities for improving road safety, the content of 240 articles on road traffic injury was reviewed from 2005 to 2006 editions of two state-owned and two privately owned newspapers. The articles comprised reports on vehicle crashes (37%), commentaries (33%), informational pieces (12%), reports on pedestrian injury (10%), and editorials (8%). There was little coverage of pedestrian injuries, which account for half of the traffic fatalities in Ghana, but only 22% of newspaper reports. Only two articles reported on seatbelt use. Reporting patterns were similar between public and private papers, but private papers more commonly recommended government action (50%) than did public papers (32%, p=0.006). It is concluded that Ghanaian papers provide detailed coverage of traffic injury. Areas for improvement include pedestrian injury and attention to preventable risk factors such as road risk factors, seatbelt use, speed control, and alcohol use.
