| [00:00.00] | An international team of doctors and scientists |
| [00:03.17] | is calling for more focus on the causes of death |
| [00:05.81] | among young people around the world, |
| [00:07.70] | age between 10 and 24, |
| [00:09.47] | saying the issue is largely ignored by policy makers. |
| [00:12.78] | A study published in the medical journal |
| [00:15.18] | the Lancet found that |
| [00:16.71] | 40% of adolescent deaths are caused by various forms of injury. |
| [00:20.57] | Jill McGivering reports. |
| [00:22.25] | Until this research was published |
| [00:24.64] | there were little data on how many young people die |
| [00:27.13] | worldwide in which countries and for what reasons. |
| [00:30.14] | Now a pattern is emerging. |
| [00:32.43] | The study suggests the death rate |
| [00:34.41] | is strongly linked to how poor a country is. |
| [00:36.60] | Most deaths are in the developing world |
| [00:39.39] | driven by high rate of infectious disease |
| [00:41.59] | and of maternal mortality. |
| [00:43.47] | But globally 40% of adolescent deaths |
| [00:46.83] | are caused by types of injury |
| [00:48.46] | including road traffic accident, suicide and violent attacks. |
