Complete PHOM Indicator Profile Report of Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Deaths
Definition
Motor vehicle traffic crash deaths among Utah residents per 100,000. ICD-10 codes V02-04 [.1-.9], V09.2, V12-14 [.3-.9], V19 [.4-.6], V20-28 [.3-.9], V29-79 [.4-.9], V80 [.3-.5], V81-82 [.1], V83-86 [.0-.3], V87 [.0-.8], V89.2.Numerator
Number of Utah resident deaths due to motor vehicle traffic crashes.Denominator
Total number of persons in the population of Utah.Why Is This Important?
In Utah during 2019, motor vehicle traffic crashes (MVTCs) accounted for 231 deaths. This was a decrease from 238 deaths in 2018. MVTCs were one of the main injury causes of death.Healthy People Objective: Reduce motor vehicle crash-related deaths per 100,000 population
U.S. Target: 12.4 deaths per 100,000 populationState Target: 8.7 deaths per 100,000 population
Other Objectives
Utah's 42 Community Health IndicatorsHow Are We Doing?
The motor vehicle traffic crash (MVTC) death rate was 7.6 deaths per 100,000 population in 2019. This was a 3% decrease from the 2018 rate of 7.8. The 2019 rate was the lowest in the last six years. (All rates are age-adjusted.)How Do We Compare With the U.S.?
In 2018 (the most recent year for U.S. data), Utah had a lower rate of MVTC deaths (7.8 deaths per 100,000 population, age-adjusted) than the U.S. (11.6). Utah has had a lower MVTC death rate per population than the U.S. since 2001.^1^[[br]] [[br]] ---- 1. CDC Injury Control and Prevention: Data & Statistics (WISQARS); Fatal Injury Reports, [http://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/fatal.html]What Is Being Done?
The Violence and Injury Prevention Program (VIPP) provides funding to the 13 local health departments in Utah to implement motor vehicle safety programs and Safe Kids coalitions/chapters activities. These programs focus on child passenger safety and teen driving. The VIPP partners with the Utah Teen Driving Safety Task Force, Zero Fatalities Program, and Utah Highway Safety Office, among other state and local agencies to prevent MVTC deaths. For the past eight years, a book has been published that tells the stories of teens who died in motor vehicle-related crashes. The book is distributed to each drivers education instructor in the state as a prevention tool. The books can be downloaded at [http://www.health.utah.gov/vipp/teens/teen-driving/] or [http://zerofatalitiesut.com/dont-drive-stupid/]. Many other partners play a role in the prevention of motor vehicle traffic crash deaths including the Utah Department of Public Safety, Utah Department of Transportation, Utah legislature, law enforcement, media, vehicle manufacturers, emergency response, and medical treatment.Available Services
