  <dc:description>A cross-sectional, community-based study of injury
was conducted in Bahir-Dar Zuria Woreda between October
and December 1993. A study population of 13,286 was
surveyed in five randomly selected kebeles, three of
which were rural and two urban. A four-week recall
period was used to estimate an incidence of injury of 550
per 1000 per year.
The most common injuries were due to cutting and
piercing objects or other mechanical injury (61.2%),
animal injury (11.2%) and falls (10%). The home and its
immediate environment were the main sites of occurrence
