  • Title: Deaths due to external causes among adolescents in Hong Kong.
    Author: Wong TW, Sun TW.
    Journal: Asia Pac J Public Health; 2008; 20(2):148-51. PubMed ID: 19124308.
    Abstract:
    The authors compared adolescent mortalities due to external causes in two 5-year periods (from 1986-1990 and 1996-2000) in Hong Kong. Leading external causes are traffic accidents and suicide. The mortality rate is comparatively low and has decreased significantly over time. Suicide deaths are, however, on the increase. Monitoring the changing trend is useful in setting public health priorities.
