Most Deaths in Young People are Preventable: WHO study
GENEVA – Most of the 2.6 million deaths of young people each year are preventable, according to a new study supported by the World Health Organization and released in Geneva Friday.
The main causes of deaths in the 10-24 age group were road traffic accidents, complications during pregnancy and child birth, suicide, violence, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.
The study, to be published in the Lancet, a medical journal, found that 97 percent of these deaths were taking place in low and middle-income countries.
“Young people … often fall through the cracks,” said Daisy Mafubelu, WHO’s expert for family and community health.
She said it was important to improve their access to information and services “and help young people avoid risky behaviors that can lead to death”.
There are an estimated 1.8 billion people that fall into this age group, accounting for 30 percent of the world’s population.
Road traffic accidents could be avoided through more appropriate speed limits, strict enforcement of drunk-driving laws and by the use of helmets and safety belts, the WHO said.
Moreover, young people need sex education, condoms and other contraceptives, the ability to perform safe abortions, access to antenatal and obstetric services and testing and care for HIV/AIDS.
The study also led the researchers to conclude that suicide and other violence could be prevented through life-skills training and positive parental involvement in young people’s lives.
Furthermore, the WHO recommended that access to lethal means of all kinds, including guns and toxins, should be reduced, along with limiting the consumption of alcohol.
There also needed to be better care and support for those exposed to child abuse, youth violence, and sexual assault, to help young people deal with the immediate and long-term consequences of these traumatic events.

There are lots of beginners guitar lesson websites offering this, and additional absurd things, so be aware that when you see a promise of mastering the fretboard in 1 afternoon, you’re probably up against a fraud. Learning how to play the guitar takes time, as with all things rewarding in life, but the payoff is huge.

Captcha is one of the best ways against auto bot registration but xrumer will destory it with is astounding power. One of the most prevalent spam behavior is auto account registration on forums e.g Xrumer. These bots intend to post advertising messages with out manual control and so so quite successfully with xrumer. Tools like Xrumer are dedicated for this purpose. Thus, you may set up captcha against bot registration. Alternatively, setting up anti-spam questions that appear randomly will also be helpful but it real wont work mainly because xrumer is king.

Hi everyone, – found your blog due to pure luck while searching across the web this afternoon, and delighted that i did! I like the page layout and colours, but I ought to point out that I’m having trouble when it loads. I’m making use of Flock 2 web browser for mac, and the top panel will not align properly. i’m convinced I’ve used exactly the same design on a customer’s web site about neck pain relief, but the menu seems fine on mine. I have an idea the problem is at this end & Perhaps it is time to update!
