Abstract

Objective: This study qualitatively examined road traffic crash (RTC) data collection and management in southwest Nigeria, with the goal of addressing the tenets of the UN Decade of Action Plan on Road Safety's call for an effective data system.

Methods: Data on RTCs data collection in the study area was obtained through key informant interviews with five hospital accident emergency unit directors, three Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Sector commanders, and three Nigeria Police Force (NPF) commissioners. Datasets were transcribed, categorized, and interpreted using content analysis, descriptive statistics, and WHO recommended minimal crash data element requirements.

Results: The study found disparate systems, a lack of synergy, and discrepancy in the various data sources in the country when compared with WHO recommendations on road traffic data collection systems, with 55% of agencies using non-standardized paper forms. The study also reveals that the minimum crash data elements recommended by WHO are not consistently captured in the NPF, FRSC, and hospital traffic crash data sources.

Conclusions: The study suggested the use of an upgraded National Road Traffic Crash Data Management System (NRTCDMS) Data Template to unify data gathering and linkage issues, but recommends a digital version of the template.

尼日利亚西南部的道路交通事故数据：对来源、内容和管理方法的定性分析。

目的本研究对尼日利亚西南部的道路交通事故（RTC）数据收集和管理进行了定性研究，目的是响应联合国道路安全十年行动计划关于建立有效数据系统的号召：通过对五位医院事故急救部门主任、三位联邦道路安全委员会 (FRSC) 区指挥官和三位尼日利亚警察部队 (NPF) 局长进行关键信息访谈，获得了研究地区 RTC 数据收集方面的数据。利用内容分析、描述性统计和世界卫生组织推荐的最低碰撞数据元素要求对数据集进行了转录、分类和解释：研究发现，与世界卫生组织建议的道路交通数据收集系统相比，该国的各种数据来源存在系统不统一、缺乏协同性和差异等问题，其中 55% 的机构使用非标准化的纸质表格。研究还显示，国家警察局、联邦共和国交通安全委员会和医院的交通事故数据源并没有一致地采集世界卫生组织建议的最低限度事故数据元素：研究建议使用升级后的国家道路交通碰撞数据管理系统（NRTCDMS）数据模板来统一数据收集和链接问题，但建议使用数字版模板。

期刊介绍： The purpose of Traffic Injury Prevention is to bridge the disciplines of medicine, engineering, public health and traffic safety in order to foster the science of traffic injury prevention. The archival journal focuses on research, interventions and evaluations within the areas of traffic safety, crash causation, injury prevention and treatment. General topics within the journal''s scope are driver behavior, road infrastructure, emerging crash avoidance technologies, crash and injury epidemiology, alcohol and drugs, impact injury biomechanics, vehicle crashworthiness, occupant restraints, pedestrian safety, evaluation of interventions, economic consequences and emergency and clinical care with specific application to traffic injury prevention. The journal includes full length papers, review articles, case studies, brief technical notes and commentaries.
