Abstract:

Accidental death rates for children and teenagers in North Carolina are considerably higher than those in the nation. During 1974-1978, the majority of deaths among North Carolina residents under age twenty were motor vehicle fatalities, followed by drowning, fires, firearms, strangulation by ingestion, and poisoning.
