    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;A cross-sectional, community-based study of injury&lt;br&gt;
was conducted in Bahir-Dar Zuria Woreda between October&lt;br&gt;
and December 1993. A study population of 13,286 was&lt;br&gt;
surveyed in five randomly selected kebeles, three of&lt;br&gt;
which were rural and two urban. A four-week recall&lt;br&gt;
period was used to estimate an incidence of injury of 550&lt;br&gt;
per 1000 per year.&lt;br&gt;
The most common injuries were due to cutting and&lt;br&gt;
piercing objects or other mechanical injury (61.2%),&lt;br&gt;
animal injury (11.2%) and falls (10%). The home and its&lt;br&gt;
immediate environment were the main sites of occurrence&lt;br&gt;
of injury (52.7%), followed by roads or paths (21%) and&lt;br&gt;
farms (16.4%). Lower and upper extremities were the body&lt;br&gt;
parts affected in 48% and 29% of cases respectively.&lt;br&gt;
Over 81% of injuries in adults were occupational&lt;/p&gt;</description>
