Abstract

Injury prevention is best achieved through a better understanding of how and why injuries occur. Not long ago, injuries were viewed as accidents or random acts of circumstance, outside the scope of human intervention. Early injury research changed that flawed, fatalistic view, exposing injury as a disease influenced by risk factors like any other threat to human health.
