Modern evidence-based injury prevention and control strategies have contributed to a substantial decline in the number of deaths associated with injury. Injury Control: Research and Program Evaluation addresses the growing need for a single comprehensive source of data on all research designs available for injury control and research. This accessible guidebook includes information on research tools such as injury severity scales, conducting program evaluations and trauma audits, systematic reviews, and ecologic studies. Epidemiologists and health service investigators, as well as trauma surgeons and emergency medicine physicians who provide the post-acute care of trauma patients, will find this the only current information source focused on injury control research and evaluation.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"A very useful and thoughtful compendium...the strenght of this book is in its breadth of coverage of issues that concern research in injury control. Although not mentioned as a potential audience, students and others new to the subject would find this a very useful text in a course on injury epidemiology and control." American Journal of Epidemiology
"Injury Control--A guide to Research and Program Evaluation is the fifth landmark text--one destined to propel the discipline to the next level. It is comprehensive, well written, and carefully edited. The editors are internationally eminent experts, all of whom are American, but the book has a welcome international flavor." International Journal of Epidemiology
"No source ... had the breadth of coverage, utility, or convenience of this primer. Moreover, none offered such good examples to illustrate the research applications ... Injury Conctrol is at its strongest." BMJ
