Motor vehicle injuries lead the list of injury deaths at the all ages during childhood and adolescence, even in children under 1 yrs of age. Understanding the actual of chil...

background and aim: traffic accident is one of the main causes of mortality in iran. the damage and injury caused by these accidents threatens human societies severely. rural accidents are often more severe and show harsher consequences because the operational speed is higher on rural roads and highways. world statistics presented by world health organization (who) reveal that about 25 percent ...
