有大量的文献在伤害率的社会经济不平等，但较少的种族差异。使用警方的道路伤害记录来检查行人受伤，区域剥夺和种族之间的关系，我们发现，在伦敦，被归类为“黑色”的儿童比那些被归类为“白色”或“亚洲”的儿童有更高的受伤率，生活在贫困程度较低的地区并不能保护“黑色”儿童免受更高的风险。受伤率的种族差异不能用少数民族地位或地区剥夺来解释，但很可能是由于种族塑造当地暴露于受伤风险的复杂方式。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
There is a substantial literature on socio-economic inequalities in injury rates, but less on ethnic differences. Using police records of road injuries to examine the relationships between pedestrian injury, area deprivation and ethnicity we found that, in London, children categorised as 'Black' had higher injury rates than those categorised as 'White' or 'Asian', and that living in less deprived areas did not protect 'Black' children from higher risk. Ethnic differences in injury rates cannot be explained by minority ethnic status or area deprivation, but are likely to result from the complex ways in which ethnicity shapes local experiences of exposure to injury risk.
