Discuss the major causes of childhood death in the United States as compared to developing countries
What will be an ideal response?
Children in the United States are more likely to die from accident-related injuries than
from the next six most frequent causes of childhood death combined. This means that
more children die from accidents (such as fires, falls, and car accidents) than from
illnesses such as leukemia, heart disease, and other ailments. These accidents affect
children from lower socioeconomic levels disproportionately. This difference may be
due, in part, to hazardous living conditions and living in dangerous neighborhoods. The
picture is quite different, however, in developing countries. More than 13 million
children around the world die from six diseases: (1) pneumonia, (2) diarrhea, (3)
measles, (4) tetanus, (5) whooping cough, and (6) tuberculosis. Air pollution also
creates a great number of respiratory infections that account for 20% of all deaths in
children under the age of 5.
