    IntroductionTraumatic physical injuries are the number one cause of hospitalization and death among children in Canada. The majority of these injuries are preventable. The burden from injury can be reduced through prevention programs tailored to at-risk groups, however, existing research does not provide a strong explanation of how social factors influence a child’s risk of injury. We propose a theoretical framework to better understand social factors and injury in children and will examine the association between these social factors and physical traumatic injury in children using large population-wide data.Methods and analysisWe will examine data from 11,000 children hospitalized for traumatic physical injury and 55,000 matched uninjured children by linking longitudinal administrative and clinical data contained at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy. We will examine 14 social determinants of child health measures from our theoretical framework, including receipt of income assistance, rural/urban status, socioeconomic status, children in care, child mental disorder, and parental factors (involvement with criminal justice system, education, social housing, immigration status, high residential mobility, mother’s age at first birth, maternal Axis I mental disorder, maternal Axis II mental disorder and maternal physical disorder) to identify groups and periods of time when children are at greatest risk for traumatic physical injury. A conditional multivariable logistic regression model will be calculated (including all social determinant measures) to determine odds ratios and adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for cases (injured) and controls (non-injured).Ethics and disseminationHealth Information Privacy Committee (HIPC No. 2017/2018-75) and local ethics approval (H2018-123) were obtained. Once social measures have been identified through statistical modelling, we will determine how they fit into a Haddon matrix to identify appropriate areas for intervention. Knowing these risk factors will guide decision-makers and health policy.</div
