Abstract：
The South East Asian region has the world\'s second highest fatal drowning burden. This study reports analysis of survey data from representatives from nations within the Association of South East Asian Nations regarding current efforts, challenges and future opportunities for drowning prevention. Twenty-two responses were received from respondents from all ASEAN nations excepting Cambodia and Myanmar. Drowning prevention initiatives varied across ASEAN nations, with most efforts focused on public education and raising awareness, including the provision of drowning data to the media. The lack of comprehensive, national level data collection was identified as a challenge, necessitating strengthened data collection capacity. Governmental involvement spanned one to six different ministries, highlighting the multi-sectoral nature of drowning prevention. However, a lead ministry could be identified in only two countries. Despite the challenges identified, there remain many opportunities to strengthen drowning prevention across ASEAN nations, addressing a significant regional public health threat.
摘要：
东南亚地区是世界上第二高的致命溺水负担。本研究报告了东南亚国家联盟内各国代表对当前努力的调查数据的分析，溺水预防的挑战和未来机遇。除柬埔寨和缅甸外，来自所有东盟国家的答复者收到了22份答复。在东盟国家中，溺水预防举措各不相同，大多数努力都集中在公共教育和提高认识上，包括向媒体提供溺水数据。缺乏综合性,国家一级的数据收集被认为是一项挑战，需要加强数据收集能力。政府的参与跨越了一到六个不同的部委，强调预防溺水的多部门性质。然而,只能在两个国家确定牵头部。尽管已经确定了挑战，东盟国家仍有许多机会加强溺水预防，解决重大的区域公共卫生威胁。
