Policy needed on Injury Prevention

David Sleet (06 December 2006) Centers for Disease Control, USA (Injury Center)

Australia is heading in the right direction. This article should stimulate discussion in Australia on how best to implement a policy that promises to reduce the burden of Injury in Australia. It is long overdue.

Canada has just released its "Way Forward" in a 113 page document "Ending Canada's Invisible Epidemic" with a strategy policy for injury prevention. McClure et al. have done a valuable service by bringing this issue to discussion.
