N2  - Injury causes more years of life lost than heart disease and cancer because it disproportionately affects the young. Traditionally viewed as a behavioral problem, injury is now understood to have substantial environmental contributors. This understanding has been enhanced by application of the epidemiologic model. The most successful injury control programs result from identification of clusters of injuries in relation to environmental factors, identification of technically feasible environmental modifications, and application of that knowledge. The resistance to this approach to injury control is similar to that seen relative to other environmental issues. Concentrated, short-term economic interests are emphasized rather than long-term costs and other consequences. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
