In six primary schools in Kyoto City, accidental injuries occurred within the school property had been investigated from April 1965 to March 1966. The study population comprised 433 school children in sixth or fifth grade.
In total, 591 accidental injuries were listed, and the rate for injuries was 122 per 100 children per year.
The comparison of observed and theoretical distribution of accidental injuries suggested that there might be a small number of accident repeaters. But numbers of accidental injuries attributed to the accident repeaters comprised only a small part of whole accidental injuries within school properties.
In studying accident repeatedness, the following two points should be kept in mind.
1) The observation must be made on a group in which every member is exposed to equal risk of incurring an accident.
2) The wide variety of factors affecting school accidents suggests that injuries under different circumstances should be analyzed separately.
