Evaluation Of An Observational Study

One of this weeks supplementary readings by Jacobs focused on target selection. This target selection was quite specific as it was looking at which qualities are preferred of drug dealers when selecting which one to burglarize. The article discussed some characteristics that would be more encouraging of them to burglarize the drug dealer along with some qualities that would deter them away.

Eighteen wheelers are a vital part of interstate commerce in our country. The big rigs carry products across state lines, and keep our stores’ shelves stocked with the things we need on a daily basis. But, when a trucker is involved in an accident, the injuries are usually catastrophic. The sheer weight of a truck is such that when it collides with a car, the results are severe. Drivers and passengers in cars can suffer broken bones, internal organ damage, spinal and brain cord injuries, or even death. Staying safe around big rigs requires drivers to pay extra special attention when near a truck, and to keep a safe distance. But, drivers can only do so much; it also takes diligence on the part of the trucker in order to safely share the road.

Background and Audience Relevance: According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2015, about thirty-five hundred people were killed, and four hundred thousand were injured in car crashes.

Motor vehicle collisions stand as one of the leading causes of death in North America. Teens and young adults who have recently gotten their license usually account for about one fatality every 10 minutes. Researchers from the New England Journal of Medicine have done a study on the occurrence of car crashes and the average statistics for crashes during the year shows that about one person in 50 will become involved in a motor vehicle collision. For the people who have become involved in a crash; only about 1 percent of them will die, then 10 percent will be hospitalized, and 25 percent will unfortunately become temporarily disabled. (Donald A. Redelmeier, M.D., and Robert J. Tibshirani, Ph.D., New England Journal of

To avoid bias, this research will incorporate several reports from local, state and federal government agencies to show the statistics of fatalities related to collisions in rural and urban communities. Only emergency management

Every day, thousands of individuals fall victim to motor vehicle accidents and obtain serious injuries. But in regards to innovations such as seat belts and airbags, this number has decreased. Safety innovations have changed throughout history. In the 1930’s, individuals were required to wear safety glasses in their vehicles, in the late 1950’s, occupants were allowed to choose whether they wanted headrests on the front seats, which we know understand to be a crucial part of a car as it prevents whiplash. More recently there have been new innovations such as tire pressure monitors and traction control which further contributes to reducing the number of roadside accidents. However, it is clear that there is still a large area for improvement.

The issue I will be investigating within this report involves the number the level of licence held by drivers and how this influences the overall number of fatalities within Queensland. This issue is paramount due to it intertwines with the health and safety of Queensland motorists. I will display the key points of this issue through the use of data such as box plots, tables and scatter plots which I will then conduct an analysis through statistical calculations and assumptions made about the data. Will this information I will then make

Many people lose their lives or loved ones in accidents involving cars and other types vehicles like semi trucks, farm equipment, construction vehicles, and motorcycles. People are involved in car accidents due to reasons such as distracted driving, drunk driving, inability to drive, driving in an unsafe vehicle. Many of the accidents can be can be prevented. There are many precautions that can be taken to decrease the amount of people hurt in these accidents. Options range from enforcing harsher laws for vehicular accident or simply making the car itself safer, and making it mandatory that vehicles are safer. As well as new laws that could created. There are many small things that people can do to become a better driver and cause less accidents.

As stated under Findings, we would expect highly-populated areas to have a similarly high fatality counts. However, New York, the fourth most populated state at 19.8 million inhabitants, had substantially lower motor vehicle deaths than expected. New York had only 1,113 fatalities in 2015, a rate of 5.62 deaths per 100,000 people – the fourth lowest in the nation. Understanding why New York has such a low traffic fatality rate could be the key to reducing fatalities in similarly populated states. Since a large portion of New York’s population resides within New York City, the extensive use of the subway system there could be the reason for the state’s low rate of motor vehicle deaths. Fatalities due to subway systems were not included in the

Many people have lost their lives on the road and other were severely injured. Over a million of people across the globe dies commuting from home, work or school. This is devastating to hear each day there are thousands of fatal car crashes. There are several contributing factors to collisions such as; speeding, driving under the influence, distracted while driving. For example, the person search for a radio station to listen to while driving. This causes the driver to take their eyes off the road; within seconds a collision can occur. Especially if the car ahead of the driver suddenly stops because the traffic speed decreases.

The research displays that although there are differences when it comes to the numbers tested, different ways to determine a vehicle, and time frame. Overall, every piece of data received was comparable across the board. A comparison of the 50 United States and 50 European countries was compiled, calculated, and analyzed to determine the number of traffic fatalities that occur over a given year. Multiple years were researched in order to obtain enough figures for the author of the paper to determine if the hypothesis was true or false. The comparison took into account all fatalities that can transpire on and off the roadway while operating various modes of transportation.

Automobile accidents are terrible things to be involved in, even if they are minor fender benders, they are still stressful, or at the very least they are extremely annoying. What if the vehicle that you have collided with is a 18 wheeled, 80,000lb contraption of metal, rubber, and cargo? Even a ‘fender bender’ caused by a semi-truck can take the front of your car off completely. They are vital parts of the world’s economy, though they are extremely dangerous when it comes to being in an accident.

for observational studies like the one we focus on in Chapter 5, the assignment of treatments to a

Even though SUVs are frequently marketed as safer than cars, they are in fact more dangerous.

Car accidents can happen to drivers anytime, anywhere. "According to the National Safety Council, which stated that more than 2.5 million collisions back every year, making it the most common type of car accidents, it is also known that the accident rear end as incidents of injury, because the nature of the collision leads often in whiplash injury the driver in the car in front and about 20% of people who participated in a rear collision injury symptoms of this kind. ", (NHTSA, auto-accident-resource.com). Among the car accidents, the teenage group is the only age group who is number of deaths is increasing instead of decreasing. Also, all the people are exposed to risk and actually every one of them has got car
