Why First Nations Child Passenger Safety?

The leading causes of injury death in Aboriginal populations are suicide and motor vehicle collisions. (Allard et al., 2004)

First Nations people in British Columbia experience a higher rate of unintentional injury and death due to motor vehicle collisions than other residents (BC Office of the Provincial Health Officer, 2009)

Non-use of occupant protection is a leading factor contributing to MVC deaths among Aboriginal people. (BC Injury Research and Prevention Unit, 2006)
