Description:

Injuries and violence are widespread in society. Unintentional injuries and injuries caused by acts of violence are among the top 10 killers of U.S. residents of all ages. Injuries are the leading cause of death of persons aged 1--44 years and a leading cause of disability among persons of all ages, regardless of sex, race/ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Nearly 180,000 persons die each year from unintentional injuries or from acts of violence, and one in 10 sustains a nonfatal injury serious enough to require treatment in a hospital emergency department (1). In addition, injuries and violence have a major effect on the well-being of Americans by contributing to premature death, disability, poor mental and physical health, chronic disease, and other health conditions, as well as high medical costs and lost productivity.

The science of injury Prevention and control encompasses activities from primary Prevention through treatment and rehabilitation. Since 1961, when MMWR was first published by CDC, progress has been made in developing the science of injury Prevention and control, creating Surveillance systems to capture injury mechanisms and intent, and establishing a scientific framework to address injury Prevention and treatment.
