First, large numbers of minor cuts, bruises, abrasions, and burns occur in circumstances that are substantially different from those of severe injuries (Rice and MacKenzie, 1989). Attempts to control the most frequent injuries will misdirect resources from the most severe and costly injuries. Second, including only hospitalized and fatal injuries remarkably reduces the cost of data collection. Data on location and how the injuries occurred has led to large reductions in fall, pedestrian, and vehicle-occupant injuries in the limited instances in which such data have been collected (chapter 7).

There is substantial potential for bias in such surveys due to unreliable memory, embarrassment regarding certain types of injury, and differences among people in perceptions of seriousness. The National Health Interview Survey sometimes includes a few questions about injuries in its ongoing random sample survey of the population. To be included, an injury must have received medical attention or required a day of restricted activity. In one such survey, the rate of these self-reported injuries among persons 65 years and older was 19 per 100, compared to 38 per 100 among those younger than 45 years (National Center for Health Statistics, 1986).
