Produktbeschreibung

Injuries kill and maim millions each year, and seriously impact the lives of countless loved ones. Yet until recently they have been considered a random, normal part of life. Preventing injuries, on the other hand, requires not only effective communication with the public, but also a reliable framework for creating and evaluating suitable interventions. This handbook is the first to address both halves of this challenge, reviewing evidence-based intervention programs in depth so professionals can identify successful, promising, and ineffective (and potentially harmful) prevention strategies. Over fifty experts present the current landscape of intervention methods - from risk reduction to rethinking social norms - as they address some of the most prevalent forms of accidental and violent injury, as well as emerging areas. The book is a major resource for any reader committed to reducing the number of incidents "just waiting to happen."
