The study looked at how many children and teenagers in Lithuania died from accidents like car crashes, drowning, and fires between 1971 and 2005. They found that the number of kids dying from these accidents went down over time. For children, the rates of deaths from car crashes, drowning, and fires all decreased. Among teenagers, drowning deaths went down, but deaths from fires stayed about the same. The number of girls dying in car crashes went up slightly, but for boys and both boys and girls together, the rates first went up, then went down, and then went up again in recent years.
