This resource is designed to support teachers of Stage 6 Health and Movement Science.

It addresses the key inquiry question ‘What key issues affect the health of young people and how can they protect and promote good health?’ in Year 11 Focus Area 1 – Health for individuals and communities.

The activities in the lesson sequence assist students in researching a health-related issue for young people, guiding them to:

• define key road trauma terms
• interpret road trauma data by age group, gender, Indigenous status, injury severity, geographic location, road user and licence holder type to determine trends
• explore the burden of road trauma and explain the impact on young people's health
• outline protective factors that can prevent road trauma
• describe road safety strategies and analyse their effectiveness in improving young people’s health.
