"Despite the higher incidence, adult drownings tend to receive far less attention than childhood cases do, in part because toddlers have the highest drowning death rates in the U.S."
"The increase was concerning because drowning death rates in the United States had been decreasing for the last two decades, says Briana Moreland, a CDC researcher, who co-authored the report."
"Learning more about the factors that contribute to adult drownings could help researchers develop better prevention strategies."
"Drowning prevention has been entirely too focused on the child, and that's a weird thing coming from a research perspective."
