We used a case-crossover study design to examine the association between cell-phone usage and traffic injuries among pedestrians, bicyclists, and electric bicycle riders during the course of their travel. We studied 643 pedestrians, bike riders, and electric bike riders aged 10\u201335 years who were involved in a road injury, visited the emergency department in one of the 3 hospitals in Shanghai, China, in 2019, and owned a cell phone. Half of the participants (n\u00a0=\u00a0323; 50.2%) had used a cell phone within 1 minute before the injury happened. A pedestrian\u2019s or rider\u2019s use of a mobile phone up to 1 minute before a road injury was associated with a 3-fold increase in the likelihood of injury (odds ratio = 3.00, 95% confidence interval: 2.04, 4.42; P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.001). The finding was consistent across subgroups by sex, occupation, reason for travel, mode of transportation, and location of injury. Use of a cell phone when walking or riding was associated with an increased risk of road injury. Measures should be taken to make people aware of this detrimental impact on the risk of road injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwaa164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,31]],"date-time":"2020-07-31T06:07:17Z","timestamp":1596175637000},"page":"37-43","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Road
