Abstract

A community can initiate a program of injury control not only in the prevention of drownings, but in other areas of accidental deaths by the application of criteria based on: need-the identification and analysis of problem area or areas in order to bring about effective programming to reduce accidental deaths or injuries; ohjective-how many deaths could he prevented by a demonstration project in the community and what resources are available within the comniunity to bring about this project; method-plan of attack by these community resources on what approach or approaches can he taken to reduce the number of deaths or injuries attributed to the area or areas selected; evaluation-to be done at periodic intervals in order to determine how effective the model program is and ways it can be strengthened. Effective programming can be brought about when these simple criteria are applied.
