Though the number of lives lost in road accidents in high-income nations points to a downward style in
recent decades, for many of the world's population, the liability of road-traffic injury in terms of social
and economic costs is rising considerably. This study aims to determine the prevalence of the
environmental factors associated with the outcomes in Erbil city. A community-based cross-sectional
descriptive household visits survey study was carried out from March-November 2021 and was
composed of 3743 individuals selected through a multi‐stage sampling technique. A specially designed
questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic and environmental data from the participants
through face-to-face interviews with the amount RTAs occurrence, Chi-square, and percent used with
P-value ≤5 for significance. A total of 3743 road accidents were surveyed, and 675(18%) reported road
accidents. Young males were main (53%), mean of age (28.5±18.26) years old. statistically, the highest
prevalence occurred in urban location 550(81.5%), by drivers 475(70.4%) at daylight 410(60.7%),
during rush hours. A significant association was reported between death proportion and the rural crash,
on 80 km street speed, wet weather, rollover type, at night-shift, on Sunday, in January. The outcome
of the present study shows a significant relationship between environmental situations and road traffic
accidents in Erbil. |
