N2  - The term accident is widely used both in everyday language and in scientific research. However, there is no consensus on its use. Its connotations of chance and unpredictability have prompted many public health professionals to discourage use of the term.     This paper outlines the ongoing debate in the field of scientific research and literature, and presents alternatives for the term accident.     Key words: accident, terminology, suitability of use, scientific research.   (term-accident-vs-injury)<p />  <p>Language: es</p>
