Injury and Violence Prevention Section Title: Injury and Violence in Michigan: Michigan's Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program Burden Report Summary: Injuries are a substantial public health concern nationally and in Michigan. Injuries alone accounted for 58,420 hospitalizations in 2015 in the state, and Michigan has averaged 6,196 injury-related deaths between 2006 and 2015 each year. This means that on an average day over this decade, 160 people were hospitalized, and 17 people died in Michigan from an injury. Injuries are a leading cause of death and disability. An estimated 1.4 million people in Michigan live with a disability. The estimated years of potential life lost (YPLL) before the age of 80 in Michigan in 2015 was 126,954, just for unintentional injuries. An additional 47,588 YPLL are estimated for suicide, and 27,052 YPLL for homicide. Besides the physical and emotional trauma that families endure, injuries come with a great financial cost. Lifetime medical and work-loss costs for unintentional and intentional injuries combined were estimated at more than 7.5 billion dollars for Michigan in 2014. Injuries are the leading cause of death for Michigan residents between the ages of 1 to 49 years of age (2015). Across different age groups, the leading injury-related causes of death are: - Sleep-related deaths for infants under the age of 1 - Homicide for children between the ages of 1 and 4 - Motor vehicle crashes for people between the ages of 5 and 24 - Poisoning for people between the ages of 25 to 54 - Suicide for 55 to 64-year-olds - Falls for people age 65 and over Every year injuries contribute to new numbers of people living with a disability. Injuries kill more Americans in the first half of life (1- 44 years old) than any other cause, including cancer, HIV or the flu. This report describes the extent to which the leading types of injury occur in Michigan on a statewide scale. Further analysis is encouraged to explore where the burden of injury and death may be higher for people by race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, age, and geography, by type of injury, where data is available. The purpose of this report is to highlight morbidity and mortality in Michigan related to four core injury and violence focus areas: - Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) - Motor vehicle crashes (MVC) - Child abuse and neglect (CAN) - Intimate partner/sexual violence (IP/SV) The report also seeks to highlight the impact of five other leading types of injury and violence in Michigan by age group: - Falls - Unintentional suffocations - Homicides - Suicides - Poisonings Details: Lansing: The Department, 2018. 37p.
