Accidents and injuries typically have been studied on the basis of hospital and coroners' reports, by age group, activity, and accident location. The comprehensive accident experience of population groups has not been reported, although Guyer and Gallagher have attempted an estimate for childhood injuries. The accident and injury experience during one year (1982) of all 746 grade 11 and 12 students in three Saskatchewan high schools was surveyed by the Saskatchewan Child Safety Committee. In Part A of the survey, comprehensive information was gathered on the extent and types of accidents and injuries and modes of medical treatment. In Part B of the survey, employment injuries from the summer of 1982 were reviewed. When Part B injuries were used to represent occupational injuries in Part A of the survey, work became the primary source of injuries to students during the year.
