As you are aware, injuries are a leading public health problem in Virginia. In 2006, there were 4,004 injury related deaths and 38,635 injury related hospitalizations. The Division of Injury and Violence Prevention, Virginia Department of Health just released Injury in Virginia, 2006, an in-depth analysis of injury-related inpatient hospitalization discharges and deaths in Virginia for the calendar year 2006. There are two new additions to the Injury in Virginia, 2006 report this year:
1. A Virginia Injury Review, which examines hospitalization and death related injuries in Virginia over the last five years (2002-2006)
2. The inclusion of 2006 hospitalization and death injury data for each of Virginia’s 35 Health Districts
