    Welcome to Module #6: "Unintentional Injuries and Homicide in the Hispanics/Latinos".

This module is designed to introduce you to the important issues surrounding the 3rd leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Hispanics/Latinos - unintentional injuries. This module will define what is included in unintentional injuries, and will concentrate on the two most common types - motor vehicle accidents and homicide. Pesticide poisoning is covered in Module #4 and will not be covered here. 

    After completing this module, the learner will be able to:

    • Analyze the epidemiology of motor vehicle accidents in both Hispanic adults and children;
    • Describe the impact of alcohol on unintentional injuries;
    • Describe the how migrant farmworkers are at an increased risk for unintentional injuries;
    • Analyze the epidemiology of homicide in Hispanic adolescentts and adults;
    • Describe the implication of firearms and violence in homicides in Hispanics. 

    In this module you will need to complete all of the components that have been provided for you to receive full credit. These components will include:
    • Pre-test (to see how much you already know and don't know about this subject)
    • Cases (two cases in this module)
    • Unintentional Injuries
    • Homicide
    • Post-test (to see how much you learned)
    • Evaluation

    We would suggest that you approach this module in a sequential manner as it is layed out for you. The buttons on the left margin will allow you to return to any particular section. We would suggest that you avoid the temptation to jump around and not read all of the content provided. At the bottom right hand corner of each section you will find a link taking you to the next section of the module. 

Start with the "Pre-test". Be sure to complete all of the questions and don't forget to click on the "Submit" button. Then move on to the "Case", and then the content. Review all of the learning material provided to you. Finally, finish with the "Post-test" and submit your answers. We also ask that you complete a short evaluation about the module (this is part of the assignment - so please complete the evaluation!). Your feedback will help us in making this learning module as effective as it can be. Contact Pam Racansky if you have any problems with the module. Good luck!
