• Description:
  Deaths from car crashes plummeted in earlier decades because research demonstrated how to build safer cars and roads and documented the impact of policy. Research has documented the value of smoke alarms and home sprinklers, pool fencing, building designs that minimise fall risk and the efficacy of childproof packaging of medications. Research has revealed the burden of injuries and the cost-effectiveness of addressing injury prevention and helped maximise impact from different approaches. But support for injury research has not kept pace with our need and our potential to reduce the burden of injuries. We must invest in a robust injury and violence prevention research and training agenda. Maintaining vitality in injury research funding and continuing to attract the best scientists is imperative for improving health status in the USA and globally. [Description provided by NIOSH]
