This casebook profiles exceptional traumatic injury prevention
programs from all over the globe. Its detailed description and analysis employ
a multi-stage process of identifying, evaluating, and casing effective
prevention practices. The case studies reflect how legislative and
regulatory information impact prevention efforts and provide insight
into how national centers for injury prevention and control inform
prevention practices on countrywide levels. The authors work with
outcome-based research criteria to select and develop their
comprehensive and contextually aware profiles of the programs. All
included case studies follow the BRIO approach (Background, Resources,
Implementation, and Outcome) – a model designed to provide a consistent
way of describing programs that have been evaluated and found to be
exceptional practices.
The scope of the Casebook ranges across:
- The challenge of traumatic injury prevention
- Sports and recreation-related traumatic injury prevention
- Fall-related traumatic injury prevention
- Road traffic-related traumatic injury prevention
- Traumatic injury prevention within complex systems
In its recognition of traumatic injury prevention across the lifespan as a critical and complex public health challenge, the Casebook of Traumatic Injury Prevention promises
to be an influential and authoritative resource for professionals and
students in public health, safety, injury prevention, medicine,
psychology, sociology, nursing, and engineering. Government agencies and
institutions such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), public health departments, and safety associations also would
find the Casebook relevant to their work.
