| 摘要： | Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cuase of death for Native Americans 4 to 44 years. Although traffic-related injuries and fatalities have been reduced in the U.S. over the past half century, American Indians continue to face higher traffic-related risk than the general U.S. population. Crashes involving pedestrians on tribal lands pose a significant problem. Among American Indian/Alaska Native, pedestrian crashes are the fourth leading cause of death and American Indians have higher rates of pedestrian injury and death per capita than any other race or ethnic group in the U.S. Similar to the overall American Indian/Alaska Native population, Native American children and youth face elevated rates of pedestrian crash injuries and fatalities. A dearth of information exists specific to child traffic related injuries and fatalities within school zones. However, across the U.S, each year approximately 800 school-aged children are killed in motor vehicle crashes during the morning and afternoon school travel hours. These deaths include children from all race and ethnic groups. Of these deaths, about 2% (20) are school bus-related (5 school bus passengers and 15 pedestrians). The other 98 % of school-aged deaths occur in passenger vehicles or to pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists. There are over 562 federally recognized tribes and 313 federal reservations that encompass almost 56 million acres of land in the U.S.. The majority of American Indian/Alaska Native tribes are sovereign nations, thus pass and enforce their own traffic safety laws. American Indian/Alaska Native groups are culturally and linguistically diverse with more than 200 native languages spoken. |
