Abstract

This study aimed to explore the risk and protective factors associated with injuries among Vietnamese adolescents. Of the 770 respondents, 20.6 % reported an injury during the past 12 months. We found that there were differences between genders in injury status, causes and frequency. Common risk factors for injuries included mental health problems (depression), experienced violence, students’ awareness of injury risks and participation in school-based prevention programs.  An effective school-based injury prevention program that both consider individual factors, as well as other stakeholders (parents, teachers, school social workers and health workers), was recommended to mitigate the burden of injury among school-going adolescents in Vietnam.
