Cross-sectional, nationally representative data were used from the 2000-2003 National Health Interview Survey to compare the risk of injury between 62,267 foreign-born and 322,200 U.S.-born persons. Nonfatal unintentional injuries occurring during the three months prior to the interview were compared by age, gender, education, poverty status, region of residence, family size, and health insurance coverage status. There were a total of 7,654 injured persons with U.S.-born persons having a weighted injury prevalence of 2.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.2, 2.4) and foreign-born persons having a weighted injury prevalence of 1.2% (95% CI: 1.0, 1.3). With the U.S.-born population as the reference and while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, the odds ratio of injury risk was 0.54 (95% CI: 0.48, 0.62) for the foreign-born population. Transportation-related injuries occurred more frequently among foreign-born persons than among U.S.-born persons (23.7%, 95% CI: 19.7, 28.3 vs. 15.0%, 95% CI: 14.0, 16.2, respectively). This research is the first step in determining the morbidity from unintentional injuries among the foreign-born population in the U.S. Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006 immigrants nationallicence injury nationallicence public health nationallicence risk nationallicence transportation nationallicence Sinclair Sara Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus Children's Research Institute, School of Medicine, The Ohio State University, 43205, Columbus, OH, USA aut Smith Gary Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus Children's Research Institute, School of Medicine, The Ohio State University, 43205, Columbus, OH, USA aut Xiang Huiyun Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus Children's Research Institute, School of Medicine, The Ohio State University, 43205, Columbus, OH, USA aut Journal of Community Health Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; http://www.springer-ny.com 31/4(2006-08-01), 303-325 0094-5145 31:4<303 2006 31 10900 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10900-006-9012-x text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10900-006-9012-x text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sinclair Sara Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus Children's Research Institute, School of Medicine, The Ohio State University, 43205, Columbus, OH, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Smith Gary Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus Children's Research Institute, School of Medicine, The Ohio State University, 43205, Columbus, OH, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Xiang Huiyun Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus Children's Research Institute, School of Medicine, The Ohio State University, 43205, Columbus, OH, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Community Health Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; http://www.springer-ny.com 31/4(2006-08-01), 303-325 0094-5145 31:4<303 2006 31 10900 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
