SafetyLit: Injury Prevention Literature
Welcome to SafetyLit, the online source for current and past scholarly research about all aspects of injury prevention.
Information about injury occurrence and prevention is available from
many sources. The weekly SafetyLit Update Bulletin provides abstracts of
English language reports from researchers who work in the more than 30 professional disciplines
relevant to preventing unintentional injuries, violence, and self-harm.
SafetyLit staff and volunteers regularly examine more than 2600 scholarly journals from many nations. We also review conference proceedings and reports from government agencies and organizations. SafetyLit summaries are drawn from anthropology, economics, education, engineering specialties, ergonomics, law and law enforcement, medicine, physiology, psychology, public health, public safety, nursing, social work, traffic safety, and other fields.
SafetyLit cannot provide copies of any of the journal articles viewed here. If there is a DOI number included above the abstract, click on it and you should be taken to the article on the publisher's website where you may purchase it. If the DOI number is unavailable, click on the journal abbreviation for information about how to contact the journal publisher.
Residents of developing nations may be able to obtain full text copies of many of the journal articles listed in SafetyLit at no or very low cost. For more information visit the World Health Organization HINARI Program website.
The primary purpose of SafetyLit is to provide information about articles from scholarly peer reviewed journals and selected reports from government agencies, university-based research centers, and professional organizations. We recognize that other types of information about injury prevention and safety promotion may be useful. Thus, we maintain a series of links pages to facilitate your connection to the Web sites of several thousand agencies and not-for-profit organizations.
