Abstract: Unintentional injuries are a significant health concern in rural Nepal, where geographic isolation and limited healthcare infrastructure exacerbate their impact. In the remote district of Mugu, primary caregivers of children navigate complex physical and social landscapes daily. This study explores how caregivers perceive the determinants of injury. By examining the interplay of environmental, social, and infrastructural determinants shaping injury risks, the findings provide insights into the unique challenges of injury in rural settings.
