HEALTH BEHAVIOUR IN SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN: WHO COLLABORATIVE CROSS-<strong>NATIONAL</strong> STUDY (HBSC) 2014 SURVEY IN SCOTLAND <strong>NATIONAL</strong> REPORT been injured (50% of boys and 40% of girls). Whilst there has been little change in the prevalence of injuries among girls between 2002 and 2014, there has been a small but steady decline among boys from 55% in 2002 to 50% in 2014 (Figure 15.2). INJURY LOCATION AND ACTIVITY Those that report being injured at least once in the past 12 months were asked to identify the place where their most serious injury over this period happened (Figure 15.3), as well as what they were doing when it happened (Figure 15.4). The majority of boys report that their injury happened at a sports facility, and more boys than girls report that their most serious injury happened at this type of location (39% versus 21%, respectively). Correspondingly, the majority of boys report that their most serious injury happened whilst engaging in a sports or recreational activity, with more boys than girls reporting this activity whilst getting injured (46% versus 30%, respectively). Boys are also more likely than girls to have been injured whilst cycling (10% versus 4%, respectively) or fighting (7% versus 3%, respectively). Girls were most likely to report that their most serious injury happened at home, with more girls than boys reporting that their injury happened at this location (29% versus 12%, respectively). More girls than boys report being injured whilst walking or running (22% versus 12%, respectively) or engaging in an activity other than those listed (39% versus 23%, respectively). INJURY HOSPITAL TREATMENT Amongst those that report being injured in the past 12 months, 46% report that the most serious injury required hospital treatment, such as placement of a cast, stitches, surgery or an overnight hospital stay (Figure 15.5). Overall, boys are more likely than girls to have received hospital treatment if injured (49% versus 41%, respectively). This gender difference is most pronounced among 15-year olds, with 51% of injured boys and 38% of girls requiring hospital treatment. There is little age difference in the likelihood of requiring hospital treatment if injured. 93 REFERENCES 1 World Health Organisation (2008). The global burden of disease: 2004 update.
