Road crash and injury of bus and taxi drivers in Hanoi, Vietnam

Injury due to road traffic crash is a major cause of ill health and premature death in developing countries for adult men aged 15-44 years. Previous studies have focused on different road user groups, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists and motor vehicle drivers. There is relatively little research examining the risk of crashes for bus and taxi drivers, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to profile the crash characteristics among bus and taxi drivers, and to investigate the risk factors for road traffic crash in Hanoi, Vietnam.
