Research
has shown that very few Albertans recognize that injuries are a major threat
in the Province. Prior to a public information campaign 34% of Albertans surveyed
reported injury as the leading cause of death under 45 years of age. After the
campaign, the 40% of Albertans recognized injuries as a leading cause of death
for those under 45 years of age. The survey will be repeated after this phase
of the preventable injuries campaign - "Take Care, Injuries are killing
us."
