Abstract
Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes (MVTC) are one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world, especially in developing countries. Despite Namibia having a well- developed road network, MVTC are the third highest cause of death in the country with 23.9 per 100 000 MVTC fatality rate recorded. This study was conducted in Namibia to model factors affecting the severity of injuries from MVTC. The study purpose was to examine the effects of human, crash/accident types, environmental, vehicle types and temporal factors on the severity of injuries. A quantitative cross-sectional study based on data obtained from the National Road Safety Council (NRSC) was conducted. The study population was all the recorded MVTC resulted in either death, serious or slight injuries in Namibia from January 2009 to December 2016, with n= 21 976 cases. Approval for the study to use the said datasets was secured from the NRSC Namibia. Bivariate analysis was used to select variables for inclusion in the final model. Ordered logistic and multinomial logistic regression models were then used to assess selected variables included in the final model.
