Oh, "a leading" not "the leading"

You mean like "falling into a single rusty nail is the leading caused of tetanus of the eye? But only a leading cause of loosing an eye?" Scientists, though, have proven that falling right on a rusty nail pointing perfectly upwards with its pointy side straight into the eye is 100% effective at inducing eye removal surgery.

This study is for 2021-2022 during the peak of COVID and is not indicative of the current situation. While we still have to be vigilant, accidents, murder and especially intentional self harm should be way more concerning

Accidental is #2? Like people dropping babies?

Edit, oh, this includes teenagers

Car accidents, falls, drownings, poisonings (ie eating something you shouldn't), fires. There are a lot of horrible ways to go.

Department of Computer Science?

Analysing lots of data.

Kind of study we call social data science.

I thought that would be under social studies or medicine or math (statistics) and not part of the computer science department

I did a degree that was “social data science” and we were part both of the computer science and the social science department, so to me it isn’t shocking a study like this might be attributed to the computer science department.
