Objectives: (1) To explore the relationship between regionally implemented dog control strategies and dog bite injuries (DBIs) and (2) to evaluate current implementation of dog control strategies.

Aims: To estimate the burden and inequity of unintentional childhood injury for children in Aotearoa.
Methods: We used administrative data from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) and the Ministry of Health to estimate the direct, indirect and intangible costs of unintentional injuries in children aged under 15 and the inequity of the impact of childhood injury on discretionary household income. We used an incidence approach and attributed all costs arising from injuries to the year in which those injuries were sustained.
