This survey was conducted among vocational school youth in Peshawar, Pakistan (2021-22). Parental consent and assent were obtained for students\u2009&lt;18\u2009years of age. After obtaining consent, students were given a hard copy of the self-administered, World Health Organization community survey guide for injuries and violence questionnaire in a classroom session. Incidence Rate Ratios (IRR) were reported for unintentional and occupational injuries There were 547 youth of which [356 (54%)] were males. Majority [535 (97%)] of the students had received formal education before vocational training, while fathers had higher formal education [437(80%)], compared to mothers [326 (60%)]. The median family income of these vocational students was 30\u2009000 Pakistani rupee (PKR) per month. Vocational youth mostly lived in crowded family settings with 239 participants (44%) living with \u22658 family members in the household. In terms of risk behaviors, there was minimal use of tobacco [532 (97.3%)] and minimal alcohol [9 (2%)]. Non-use of helmets was found in [273 (50%)], which was similar to seat belt non-use in [307 (56%)] of participants. Eight percent of students carried a gun for personal protection. Males had 3.24 times higher rates of road traffic injuries, 1.28 times higher rates of occupational injuries, and 1.63 times higher rates of unintentional injuries overall compared to their female counterparts. The 15 to 19 age group had significantly lower incidence of burns and falls compared to the 20 to 24 age group.

Furthermore, integrating comprehensive road safety and health education into vocational training curricula is crucial. By addressing these critical areas, significant reduction in injury rates and improved safety and well-being of this vulnerable population may be realized.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00469580251343779","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,13]],"date-time":"2025-06-13T21:18:07Z","timestamp":1749849487000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Cross-Sectional Survey of Unintentional Injuries Among 15-24-Year-Old Vocational School Youth From Pakistan Between 2021-2022"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3557-1551","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarwat","family":"Masud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Aga Khan University Hospital Karachi, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adnan A.","family":"Hyder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Milken Institute of Public Health, George Washington University, Washington, DC, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uzma","family":"Rahim Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Aga Khan University Hospital Karachi, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadeem","family":"Ullah Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Aga Khan University Hospital Karachi, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Raheem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Aga Khan University Hospital Karachi, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pammla","family":"Petrucka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-2667(22)00134-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)01546-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-020-08523-w"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization adolescent and young adult health.
