Association between spatial accessibility to fire protection services and unintentional residential fire injuries or deaths: a cross-sectional study in Dallas Texas

摘要

ObjectivesIn addition to neighbourhood characteristics encompassing racial composition, socioeconomic status and housing environments, it was unclear if location characteristics relating to the accessibility of fire protection services were risk factors for unintentional residential fire-related injuries in urban areas. This study was aimed to measure spatial accessibility to fire protection services at the census block group level, and examine whether it is associated with unintentional residential fire-related injuries.
