      Malaysian School-Going Adolescents: Findings From the Adolescent Health Survey 
      2017.

AB  - Serious injury due to motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) significantly contributes to 
      the adolescents' health status. The objective of this study was to estimate the 
      prevalence of nonfatal injury due to MVAs and its associated factors among 
      Malaysian school-going adolescents. Nationally representative samples were 
      selected via 2-stage stratified cluster sampling. Data was collected using a 
      validated self-administered questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was 
      conducted to examine the associations between the variables. A total of 1088 out 
      of 27 497 adolescents reported that they had sustained serious injury due to MVAs 
      with a prevalence of 4.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.7-4.5). Serious 
      injury due to MVAs among adolescents was positively associated with being current 
      cigarette smokers (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.5; 95% CI = 2.2-2.9), followed 
      by Malay ethnicity (aOR = 2.4; 95% CI = 1.9-3.0), current drug users (aOR = 2.3; 
      95% CI = 1.9-3.0), boys (aOR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.8-2.4), Indian ethnicity (aOR = 
      1.8; 95% CI = 1.2-2.5), and those who were in upper secondary school (aOR = 1.3; 
      95% CI = 1.2-1.5). Targeted intervention and curbing substance use among boys may 
      reduce the morbidities from MVAs and its resulting complications.
