Abstract
Introduction: Violent health damages of different origin (accidents, murders, suicides) in children and youth are one of the main causes of death and disabilities in this group of population in most countries. Objective: Objective of our paper was to analyze all related factors of traffic accidents involving children and to propose adequate measures of their prevention. Method: The analysis of fatal traffic accidents of children and youth aged to 18 years on the territory of Belgrade, within the period from 1998 to 2002. Results: In relation to other forms of violent death, the traffic mortality rate in children and youth holds the leading position, accounting for 56.9% with pedestrians as the most frequent category (57.4%). The most frequent age was between 7 and 9 years (46.8%) and the boys were more frequently injured than the girls. It was established that the majority of children (51.9%) was either running across the street outside the pedestrian/ zebra crossings or they were care...lessly running out in the street, especially in April, July, August and September. More than a half of them (55.5%), predominantly school children, were injured by the end of working week, on Thursday and Friday. Conclusion: Results of our research have shown that the traffic education of children in our region is inadequate. Due to the abovementioned, it is primarily necessary to establish long-term and permanent education of this category of population. In addition, some public investments in the City infrastructure will be required in order to reduce the risk of traffic injuries in children.

Uvod: Nasilna oštećenja zdravlja različitog porekla (zadesi, ubistva, samoubistva) u većini zemalja su među vodećim uzrocima smrti i invalidnosti dece i omladine. Cilj rada: Cilj rada je sagledavanje faktora koji utiču na nastanak saobraćajnih udesa kod dece i iznalaženje mogućnosti za njihovu prevenciju. Metod rada: U radu je izvršena epidemiološka analiza saobraćajnih udesa sa smrtnim ishodom dece i mladih do 18 godina života koji su se na teritoriji Beograda desili u periodu 1998-2002. godine. Rezultati: Posmatrano u odnosu na ostale vrste udesa i druge oblike nasilne smrti , rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da povređivanje u saobraćaju sa 56,9% zauzima vodeće mesto po broju smrtnih slučajeva u populaciji dece i omladine. Najviše dece nastradalo je u svojstvu pešaka - 57,4%, a utvrđeno je i da je uzrast 7-9 godina najčešće bio izložen opasnostima (46,8%). Dečaci su nešto češće bili povređivani od devojčica. Istraživši okolnosti povređivanja, ustanovili smo da je najveći broj dece ...(51,9%) pretrčavao ulicu van obeleženog pešačkog prelaza ili je u toku igre nepažljivo istrčavao na ulicu. Najviše dece nastradalo je u aprilu, julu, avgustu i septembru. Više od polovine dece (55,5%), uglavnom školskog uzrasta, povređeno je na isteku radne nedelje, u četvrtak i petak. Zaključak: Rezultati dobijeni ovim istraživanjem nesumnjivo su ukazali na to da je saobraćajno vaspitanje dece sa naših prostora na izrazito niskom stupnju. Zbog toga je neophodno posvetiti se dugoročnom i permanentnom vaspitnom radu na unapređenju ponašanja dece i omladine u saobraćaju. Potrebno je, takođe, uložiti i materijalna sredstva u poboljšanje gradske infrastrukture kako bi se smanjio rizik povređivanja dece u saobraćaju.
