Product-related injuries: Epidemiology, Etiology and Preventive Measures, 1995

The purpose of "Product-related injuries: Epidemiology, Etiology and Preventive Measures, 1995" was to identify key factors that could be of importance on whether a product related accident would happen or not. A product related accident was characterised as an actitvity where a person was injured when a product was involved in the acitivity. The products that were part of the survey were skis and bicycles. Exposure to the product and experience with the use of the product were seen as important factors for if an accident was to happen. Age and sex were important variables as well. To find out if there was a connection between exposure, experience and being prone to accidents, a case-control investigation was made, based on post-enquete surveys, during the spring of 1995.
