虽然伤害是美国45岁以下妇女的头号死因，但对妇女的非致命伤害知之甚少，特别是那些来自城市黑人社区的妇女。费城伤害预防计划（Philadelphia Injury Prevention Program）是宾夕法尼亚州费城西部一个贫穷的黑人社区的致命和非致命伤害监测系统。在1987年3月1日至1988年2月29日的1年研究期间，估计31，032名15岁及以上女性中有近10%的人受伤，导致急诊室就诊或死亡。受伤的主要原因是福尔斯（每1 000名妇女中有25.1人）、暴力（每1 000名妇女中有20.8人）和机动车事故（每1 000名妇女中有16.8人）。暴力是15-44岁妇女受伤的主要原因，也是在一年期间遭受两次或两次以上伤害的妇女受伤的最常见原因。年龄在25-34岁之间的女性受伤率最高（每1，000名女性中有157.1人受伤）;在1年的研究期间，该年龄组中近16%的人群受伤，导致急诊室就诊或死亡。除福尔斯外，每种损伤类型的发生率均随年龄增长而下降;跌倒在25-34岁的年轻女性（每千名女性28.4例）和65岁及以上的老年女性（每千名女性29.0例）中最常见。我们的结论是，在他的人口中，年轻女性受伤似乎是一个主要的公共卫生问题。需要做更多的工作来了解城市社区年轻妇女受伤的性质。
Although injuries are the number one cause of death for women under age 45 years in the United States, very little is known about nonfatal injuries to women, particularly those from urban, black communities. The Philadelphia Injury Prevention Program is a surveillance system of fatal and nonfatal injuries in a poor, urban, black community in western Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nearly 10% of the estimated population of 31,032 women aged 15 years and older suffered an injury resulting in an emergency room visit or death during the 1-year study period from March 1, 1987 through February 29, 1988. The major causes of injury were falls (25.1 per 1,000 women), violence (20.8 per 1,000 women), and motor vehicle incidents (16.8 per 1,000 women). Violence was the leading cause of injury for women aged 15-44 years and the most common cause of injuries among women with two or more injuries during the 1-year period. Injury rates were highest for women aged 25-34 years (157.1 per 1,000 women); nearly 16% of the population in this age group suffered an injury resulting in an emergency room visit or death during the 1-year study period. Rates declined with advancing age for each injury type except for falls; which were most common in young women aged 25-34 years (28.4 per 1,000 women) and in the aged 65 years and older (29.0 per 1,000 women). We conclude that in his population, injuries to young women appear to be a major public health problem. More work is needed to understand the nature of injuries occurring to young women in urban communities.
