Abstract

During 2018-2020, death rates for unintentional traumatic brain injury among persons aged ≤19 years were higher for males than for females in each age group. Rates were highest for males (6.1 per 100,000) and females (2.9) among persons aged 15-19 years. Rates were lowest for males and females aged 5-9 years (1.1 and 0.8, respectively) and for males and females aged 10-14 years (1.3 and 0.8, respectively).
