Book Description:

Despite great strides in injury prevention over the decades, injuries result in 150,000 deaths, 2.6 million hospitalizations, and 36 million visits to the emergency room each year. This book describes the cost and magnitude of the injury problem in America and looks critically at the current response by the public and private sectors, including data and surveillance needs, research priorities, trauma care systems development, infrastructure support and training, firearms safety, and coordination among federal agencies.
