Through the on-line Atlas, users can select the data options they would like to examine.  The options include data on: injury death, injury hospitalizations, motor vehicle-related injury, sports-related hospitalizations, drownings, poison related hospitalizations, and economic burden.

Users then select specific causes such as: drowning/submersion; environment/natural factors; falls; fire/flame & hot substances; homicide; legal intervention, war operations and other; other external causes; other unintentional; suffocation/choking; suicide; transport related; undetermined intent; and, unintentional poisoning (please note these are the options under injury death data and will vary depending on the category chosen).

These choices may also be filtered by different sub-categories including by: region (province/territories), year, sex, age group (0-4; 5-9; 10-14; 15-19), activities, measures, etc.

The goal of the Atlas is to assist practitioners, policy-makers and researchers in making informed decisions that will improve child and youth injury prevention measures in Canada.
