Abstract

Although drowning death rates are low in Iowa (1.0/100,000), lower than the national NCIPC states’ 2004 average (1.3/100,000), it is still the 3rd leading cause of injury death for Iowans under the age of 14. This underlines the importance of prevention for unintentional drowning, particularly in infants and children.
