23% of 1,217 undergraduate students aged 17-31 in Kathmandu reported a road traffic injury during 2021-2022. This mixed-method study by Nikita Bhattarai includes quantitative survey data and qualitative interviews with stakeholders, resulting in five key safety recommendations. The dataset is stored in an XLSX file and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the prevalence and types of road traffic injuries based on the reported 23% injury rate and common bruise locations.
• Study the correlation between licensing status and injury risk based on the finding that only 78% of respondents had a driving license.
• Assess the socio-economic impact of injuries based on described academic loss and financial strain from healthcare and repair costs.
• Develop road safety recommendations based on the five key themes identified from the qualitative stakeholder interviews.

Strengths

• Includes data from 1,217 survey participants, providing a substantial sample size for the described population.
• Employs a mixed-method design, combining quantitative prevalence data with qualitative insights from five key informant interviews.
• Reports specific, measurable outcomes such as a 23% injury prevalence and 78% driving license ownership rate.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analytical tasks.
• Data reflects a specific geographic and demographic bias, focusing solely on undergraduate students in Kathmandu district.
