Clarification on Question 7f

Perhaps this is a silly question but, the question reads "The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System used by the investigator has data items for age of the child and location of the injury. If the hypothesis is that children under 5 playing in public playgrounds (as opposed to a school, where smartphone use by supervisors was felt to be less likely) are particularly susceptible to parental inattention…" 

I am confused about the phrase "location of the injury."  This leads me to believe that the NEISS has information about where geographically the injury took place or are they referring the location of the injury on the body?  Thank you.

I meant the geographic location where the injury took place.

But you are right that "location of the injury" often refers to a body part!  Sorry about that.
