Annotation:

Has a link to an interesting table labeled “the odds of dying from” which shows the odd of dying from a particular injury. Also has reports with statistics on prevalence of injuries and trends in unintentional poisoning deaths. The current year’s “Odds of dying” table is part of the “Injury Facts” publication but the graphic can be found by searching the term “odds of dying” in the search box. Full publications from previous years may also be found in this manner.
