A profile of injury in a far west rural/remote town.
This project sought to understand the extent and impact of injury on a rural community. Local agencies were encouraged to use this information to develop and implement programmes that target specific injuries and high-risk groups. Results showed that, amongst other things, Aboriginal people were more than three times more likely to present with injuries than non-Aboriginal people.
