Resumen

Colombia has been characterized by extreme levels of civil violence throughout the latter
part of the twentieth century, and the country continues to be one of the most dangerous
in the world in terms of deaths due to injuries. While injury deaths among adolescents and
young adults generally declined in Latin America over the period 1980-2000, Colombia is
one of a handful of countries that show an opposite trend (Yunes and Zubarew 1999). In
fact, Colombia led El Salvador, Venezuela, Brazil, and Puerto Rico with the highest injury
death rate among men aged 15 to 19 years old, reaching a peak of 122 per 100,000
inhabitants in 1991-1992
