Abstract

Background: The shortage of health professionals with training in injury epidemiology and control is an obstacle to injury prevention. Methods: Two two-hour workshops in childhood injury epidemiology and control were provided to nurses and physicians in the New York City Department of Health. Results: 101 nurses and 76 physicians received the training. Workshop I test scores rose from 60% to 75%. Workshop II test scores rose from 67% to 88%. Discussion: Training in injury prevention increases knowledge. Future studies will examine the effect of training on practice.
