title: [Traffic injuries in migrants in the territory of the local health Unit n. 13, Veneto Region, Italy].
abstract: This paper highlights the importance of using current data systems as generators of hypotheses. As an example, we report the analysis of the traffic injuries data of the Local Health Unit n. 13 in the Veneto Region. We studied the data concerning the admissions in the ER of this area, especially those involving migrants. We tested the hypotheses that the traffic injuries were associated with the summer tourism flow. Our results say that, on the contrary, it may be associated with the presence of migrant workers in the local industrial system.
