Abstract
The following pages present an overview of the burden of injury on all Iowans from 2002‐ 2006, unless otherwise noted. The data in the first table show that injury is an important public health concern for all age groups in Iowa. The leading causes of injury in Iowa in each age group are then presented to provide insight on prevention efforts that are needed in various portions of the life span of Iowans. Next, the trends of injury over the five‐year period are presented to provide information on any major changes in the data over time, which can inform decisions on potential interventions, legislative or reporting method changes, and other similar efforts.
