Further, this review focuses on unintentional fire and burn injuries. Intentional burn injuries (self-inflicted or homicidal) happen worldwide,1,2 but are especially concerning in certain regions in the world, particularly among young women.1,3 The prevention of intentional burn injuries are more appropriately covered by interventions related to violence and self-directed harm.
