    Elevskador i ett arbetsmiljöperspektiv Vad kan vi lära av kommunbaserade skolstudier?
    (Arbetslivsinstitutet, 1997) Laflamme, L; Menckel, E
    Examination of the research literature have been undertaken with regard to the registration and analysis of injuries to pupils at school. A frame of analysis based on a consensus within occupational-injury research is offered. The results point to potential risk groups, and also to hazardous locations and activities. The studies examined have primarily focused on the injury itself. Less attention has been paid to the causes of and circumstances underlying different kinds of injuries, and to the distinguishing features of community, school or pupil that might influence injury occurrence. Age and gender of pupils are the only exceptions. Further research should focus on the sequences of events culminating in injuries to school pupils, and to the situational and structural factors that govern these sequences.

    Skaderelaterade faktorer i skolmiljön Utveckling av ett instrument för registrering och analys av elevskador
    (Arbetslivsinstitutet, 1998) Laflamme, L; Menckel, E
    The school constitutes an environment of public-health concern since it is the location of occurrence of a major proportion of injuries sustained by children. This paper reviews a total of 43 empirical studies dealing with the determinants and characteristics of injuries to school pupils. On the basis of the review, a proposal is made for a specialized instrument (SIIR) dedicated to the analysis and registration of injuries and incidents at school. It addresses the "who?", "where?" and "what?" questions usually posed in more traditional instruments for injury surveillance. The key novelty, however, lies in the fact that the SIIR places far greater emphasis on the "how?" and "why?" questions of injury. Accordingly, it allows them to be subjected to greater scrutiny, and is designed to provide support for preventive work at school level as well as for surveillance, and research and development.
