The incidence of minor burn injuries has been determined for the Commonwealth of Virginia during a 17-month period. The data set included all patients with burn injuries receiving treatment in the emergency department that did not require hospitalization. The risk of burn injury was calculated by age, race and sex. Examination of the data revealed large differences in the magnitude of age-specific incidence rates between men and women and the white and non-white population. Differences in the economic status of the population may explain a large proportion of the variation in the crude burn rates.
