Age, race and sex specific trends in childhood drowning rates in the United States, from 1971 through 1988 were studied. This study is the first to compare age specific trends by race. Previous studies have shown two distinct populations to be at greatest risk of drowning, white toddlers and adolescent males (particularly black adolescent males). Results showed that, while there have been marked decreases in drowning rates in both white and black adolescent males, there have been only slight decreases in drowning rates among toddlers. In the white population toddlers have surpassed adolescents as the age group at highest risk of drowning. In the black population adolescent males remained the group at highest risk throughout the time period. The interventions to prevent drowning vary with age. The results from this study not only help us to see the effectiveness of past interventions but also should aid us in targeting future interventions.

儿童溺水率的年龄，种族和性别特定趋势 从1971年到1988年，美国进行了研究。 这项研究是 首先通过种族比较年龄特定的趋势。 先前的研究表明 两个截然不同的人群是溺水的最大风险 幼儿和青少年男性（尤其是黑人青春期男性）。 结果表明，尽管溺水有明显的减少 白人和黑人青春期男性的比率，只有 幼儿中溺水率的略有下降。 在白色 人口幼儿已经超过青少年，因为年龄段最高 溺水的风险。 在黑人人口中，青少年仍然是 在整个期间的风险最高。 干预措施 防止溺水随着年龄的增长而变化。 这项研究的结果不仅有助于 我们看到过去干预的有效性，但也应该帮助我们 针对未来的干预措施。
