    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;Background: Road Traffic accidents (RTAs) are one of the main leading causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. According to the report of the statistics of World Health Organization (WHO), RTA take lives of millions of people annually, ranging higher in developing countries, particularly in the Sub- Saharan African region. In Ethiopia, RTA caused losses of thousands of people and high economic damage, and was categorized as one of the top national health burdens. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of road traffic injury and associated factors among adult patients who visited the emergency department of Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia, 2024. Methods: A Facility- based cross-sectional mixed method was conducted among 396 patients who visited the adult emergency department of Jimma University Medical Center from June22 to July 19, 2024. A structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Epi-data version 4.6 was used for data entry and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 was used for data analysis. Variables with p-values &amp;le; 0.25 in the bivariable analysis were taken to multi-variable logistic regression. On a multi- variable analysis, variables with a P value &amp;le; 0.05 were declared as statistically significant factors associated with outcome variable, and then the data was presented using table and diagram. Result: The magnitude of road traffic accident in the emergency department of Jimma University Medical Center was 69.4% (95% CI: 64.6%, 74.0%). Factors associated with these injuries included experiencing family conflicts (AOR = 3.37, 95% CI: 1.10-10.3), being farmers (AOR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.07-4.69), use of mobile phones during crossing the road (AOR=5.94; 95% CI: 3.05-11.6), and use of alcohol (AOR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.06-4.30). Conclusion and recommendation: The magnitude of road traffic accident in the emergency department of Jimma University Medical Center was high. Factors such as family conflicts, being farmer, alcohol and mobile phone use were linked to these injuries. Local government transportation departments should launch public awareness campaigns on safe driving and accident prevention using different mass media.&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
