SPOTLIGHT ON RESOURCES
According to an April 7 report on road traffic injury prevention released
by the World Health Organization, 1.2 million people are killed and 50
million are injured in road crashes each year. The report projects these
numbers will increase by 65 percent over the next 20 years without preventive
steps. Traffic crashes are just some of the “unintentional injuries” that take a significant toll on public health, as this month’s spotlight points out. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control provides a bibliography of recent behavioral and social research on and interventions against unintentional injury. “Ideally, this bibliography will help to stimulate injury researchers and behavioral scientists to work together to uncover new solutions to the injury problem,” report editor David Sleet, Ph.D., and colleagues say. The bibliography is the work of the CDC Injury Center’s Behavioral Research Working Group, convened after a September 2003 meeting on behavioral approaches to injury prevention. Containing more than 900 entries from 1980 to 2003, the bibliography covers topics from sun-related injuries, poisoning, playground and on-the-job injuries. Citations are organized by keywords referring to the study population or type of intervention, as well as broad topic headings and alphabetical order by researcher last name. You can order the bibliography on CD-ROM at ohcinfo@cdc.gov or download it here. The
Program for the Study of Health Care Relationships at Yale University
has a new Web site here.
The expanded site now has a citation database, summaries of recent
research funded
under the program and an updated list of Internet links to relevant
sites. The program focuses on the study of health relationships between
patient, provider and payer and adherence to treatment. |
