Abstract

In Taiwan, motor vehicle fatalities have increased significantly in the past two decades and are now a leading cause of mortality, especially among younger age groups. In this paper, we review vital statistics and hospital morbidity data to provide an overview of the problem of motor vehicle injuries in Taiwan and make several suggestions for improving injury surveillance.
