问题：该研究的目的是评估信息的机动车碰撞与伤害提供的报纸报道，并评估频率的专题和情节报道的机动车碰撞。方法：这项研究使用了致命分析报告系统（法尔斯）衍生的变量，对1999年至2002年美国报纸报道的机动车碰撞事件进行了全国代表性样本编码。共包括473份关于机动车碰撞受伤的报纸报道。有关碰撞事件、涉及人员和车辆的信息被提取出来。这些报道被编码为情节和主题新闻框架。结果：大多数报纸报道使用情节框架。大多数报告包括有关碰撞类型的信息，但很少报告有关人员和车辆的特征。讨论：报纸缺乏信息，使其成为影响公众观念和态度的不完整来源。对行业的影响：这为新闻印刷媒体提供了改善公共卫生内容的机会。对工业的影响：报纸是公共信息的重要来源;然而，它们是不完整的来源[Voight，B.，Lapidus，G.，Zavoski，R.，& Banco，L.（1998年）。康涅狄格州报纸上的受伤报道。伤害预防，4，292-294。Baullinger，J.，关湖，班尼特，Cummings，P.，&威廉姆斯，K.（2001年）的第10页。利用华盛顿州报纸进行浸水损伤监测。伤害预防，7，339-342]。为了提高通过媒体来源向公众提供的信息的准确性，有必要加强公共卫生专业人员与记者之间的沟通。本研究的结果引起了人们对报纸上提供的机动车碰撞信息内容的关注，并建议报纸不提供信息，让公众的看法与机动车碰撞伤害和健康促进行动，以减少受伤风险的重要性是雅阁。报纸上更平衡和详细的信息将为新闻印刷媒体提供一个机会，以改善公共卫生方案和公众对机动车碰撞对所有人安全影响的看法。(C)2008年国家安全理事会和爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Problem: The aims of the study were to evaluate information on motor-vehicle crashes With injuries provided in newspaper reports and to assess the frequency of thematic and episodic reporting of motor-vehicle crashes. Method: The study used Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) derived variables to code a nationally representative sample of U.S. newspaper reports of motor-vehicle crashes from 1999-2002. A total of 473 newspaper reports of motor-vehicle crashes with injuries were included. Information on the crash event, people involved, and vehicles was extracted. The reports were coded for episodic and thematic news framing. Results: A majority of newspaper reports used episodic framing. The majority of reports included information on the type of crash, but characteristics about people and vehicles were rarely reported. Discussion: Lack of information in newspapers makes them an incomplete source from which to influence public perceptions and attitudes. Impact on Industry: This provides an opportunity for news print media to improve public health content. Impact on industry,: Newspapers represent an important source of public information; they are, however, an incomplete source [Voight, B., Lapidus, G,, Zavoski, R., & Banco, L. (1998). Injury reporting in Connecticut newspapers. Injury Prevention, 4, 292-294.; Baullinger, J., Quan, L., Bennett, E., Cummings, P., & Williams, K. (2001). Use of Washington state newspaper for submersion injury surveillance. Injury Prevention, 7, 339-342]. To increase the accuracy of information provided to the public through media sources, there is a need for increased communication between public health professionals and reporters. The results of this Study raise concerns about the contents of motor-vehicle crash information provided in newspapers and suggest that newspapers do not provide information to allow public perception to be in accord with the importance of motor-vehicle crash injuries and health promoting actions to reduce risk of injury. More balanced and detailed information in newspapers would provide an opportunity for news print media to improve public health programs and public perception about the impact of motor-vehicle crashes on safety for all.
