Of course, every teen death should be a priority, but will teenscreen

do the job and is it needed; refer to the rate of deaths from 1996 to

2001.

In 2002, more than 5,000 teens ages 16 to 19 died of injuries caused

by motor vehicle crashes (CDC 2004).

http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/teenmvh.htm

In 2001, 10,156 Americans ages 15 to 19 died from accidents,

homicide, or suicide. This amounts to an average of 28 teen deaths

each day, and virtually all of these were preventable deaths. In an

average day, teenagers in America experienced about 18 accidental

deaths, a little more than 5 homicides, and slightly more than 4

suicides.

The Rate of Teen Deaths by Accident, Homicide, and Suicide fell from

60 deaths per 100,000 teens in 1996 to 50 deaths per 100,000 in 2001

a drop of 17 percent. This measure improved among all racial and

ethnic groups during the period, but the rate remains significantly

higher for African-American teens and American Indian teens (63 per

100,000 and 78 per 100,000, respectively).93 During the late 1990s,

the rate of teen deaths from these three causes declined in 43 states

and the District of Columbia, increased in only 5 states, and

remained unchanged in Colorado and Massachusetts. In 2001, the Rate

of Teen Deaths by Accident, Homicide, and Suicide ranged from a low

of 29 in New Jersey to a high of 75 in Alaska.
