Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Among boys, most deaths are due to accidents involving motor vehicles or firearms. For European American, Latino American, and Asian American boys, motor vehicles are more deadly than guns, but the reverse is true for African American boys. Among girls, most deaths are due to natural causes or accidents involving motor vehicles. For European American girls, motor vehicle accidents account for nearly half of deaths; and for Latina American and Asian American girls, natural causes and motor vehicles account for the same number of deaths. Adolescent deaths from accidents can be explained in part by the illusion of vulnerability because adolescents take risks that adults often find unacceptable. Adolescents believe that only others experience the harmful consequences of risky behaviors.
