Assessing The Burden Of Years Of Life Lost (yll) Due To Traffic Fatalities In Algeria (2020-2023)
Authors : Belakhdar Chakeur .
Abstract
This study assesses the public health burden of fatalities resulting from traffic accidents in Algeria during the period between 2020 and 2023, by measuring the Years of Life Lost (YLL). The findings reveal significant demographic disparities, with young adults, particularly males aged between 20 and 34, bearing the highest burden of lost years. The study also highlights that children and the elderly face different levels of risk based on their gender. The study’s recommendations emphasize the need for targeted interventions to enhance road safety, through stricter enforcement of traffic laws, intensified gender-sensitive road safety awareness campaigns, and improved protective measures for the age groups that bear the greatest burden of lost years. The results and recommendations of this study can support road safety strategies in Algeria with the aim of reducing the overall burden of fatalities caused by traffic accidents.
