Risk factors for unintentional injury hospitalisation among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children in Australia’s Northern Territory: A data linkage study
Our study found high UIH incidence rates and evidence for an association between UIH and child maltreatment. This suggests child maltreatment and UIH have shared determinants and points to the need for clinicians to be aware of the overlap between these conditions and the importance of cross-agency collaboration in prevention and management.
