Abstrakt		In the world, injuries and poisonings are one of the most important problems of public health. A good system of collecting and monitoring of data about the most severe injuries on the base of which the groups of population most at risk and the risks in outer environment are identified, and national priorities set is the first step towards the prevention of injuries. In Slovenia injuries and poisonings are the main reason for mortality of preschool children, school children, adolescents and younger adults up to 4 years of age and an important reason for hospitalization. The most frequent kinds of injuries and their causes differ considerably among individual age groups. In all the age groups accidental inujuries are more frequent than intentional ones. Preschool children are threatened also by intentional injures by another person, and schoolchildren, adolescents and younger adults by suicide. On the base of prevalence evaluation and gravity of injuries in our state, availability and sensitivity of individual kinds of injuries for prevention and the availability of effective preventive measures, three priority domains for further preventive work are the most urgent: injuries in traffic accidents, accidental injuries in preschool and school children and accidental injuries of old people in domestic environment.
Izvleček		Poškodbe in zastrupitve so eden izmed najpomembnejših problemov javnega zdravstva v svetu. Pri korak k preprečevanju poškodb je dober sistem zbiranja in spreminjanja podatkov o najtežjih poškodbah, na podlagi katerih se identificirajo najbolj ogrožene skupine prebivalcev in nevarnosti v zunanjem okolju ter določijo nacionalne prioritete. V Sloveniji so poškodbe in zastrupitve glavni vzrok umrljivosti predšolskih otrok, šolskih otrok, mladostnikov in mlajših odraslih, starih do 44 let, let pomemben vzrok za hospitalizacijo. Najpogostejše vrste poškodb in vzroki zanje se med posameznimi starostnimi skupinami precej razlikujejo. V vseh starostnih skupinah so nenamerne poškodbe bolj pogoste kot namerne poškodbe. Predšolske otroke pa ogrožajo tudi namerne poškodbe po drugi osebi, šolske otroke, mladostnike in mlajše odrasle na samomor. Na podlagi ocene razširjenosit in resnosti problema poškodb v državi, dostopnosti in občutljivosti posameznih vrst poškodb za preprečevanje ter razpoložljivosti učinkovitih ukrepov za preprečevanje izstopajo tri prednostna področja za nadaljnje preventivno delovanje v Sloveniji: poŠkodbe v prometnih nezgodah, nenamerne poškodbe pri predšolskih in šolskih otrocih ter nenamerne poškodbe starih ljudi v domačem okolju.
