With the increased number of drownings over summer, it is interesting to read an article in the latest issue of the Medical Journal of Australia. The article explores 5 years of drowning deaths in Australia compared with a previous Australian study a decade earlier, and looks to assess the feasibility of achieving a 50% reduction in unintentional drowning deaths by 2020.
More than half of drowning deaths (53.7%) were of visitors to the location and alcohol was involved in 21.6% of all drowning deaths.
