A map of India with a detail of the state of Tamil Nadu (shaded). The lower section shows the districts of Tamil Nadu and the locations in which the two community-based injury studies have been performed. Clearly, the two studies are from two very similar locations in just one state. More studies are required from across India to better describe the patterns of intentional and unintentional injuries in the country as a whole.
