2011 | La Crosse, Wisconsin | Motor vehicle crash-related ER visits (offroad)

Summary Information

Range in Wisconsin
(Min-Max):		 36-378
Overall in Wisconsin: 85
Years of Data Used: 2006-2008

Motor Vehicle Crash-Related Emergency Room Visits is a measure of the annual average of residents who visit an emergency room due to injuries sustained in boating or off-road motor vehicle (including ATVs and snowmobile) accidents. Because alcohol use is a factor in many motor vehicle crashes, this measure is a proxy for alcohol use while driving, and also reflects the safety of the traffic system.

These data are obtained from the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services (DHS) online query system, Wisconsin Interactive Statistics on Health (WISH): Injury-Related Emergency Department Visits query. The data are reported as the age-adjusted rate of boating and non-traffic motor vehicle crash-related ER visits per 100,000 population (injury codes 820–825, 830–838).
