International Journal of Public Health, 2012, vol. 57, issue 3, 467-475

Abstract: LGAs at high risk for pedestrian injury tended to be urbanized metropolitan areas with a high population density, while high risk LGAs for pedal cycle injury tended to be either in urban regional areas, or on the margin of urbanized metropolitan areas. Geospatial analyses can assist policymakers and practitioners to identify high risk communities for which public health interventions can be prioritized. Copyright Swiss School of Public Health 2012
