内容説明
Injury is recognized as a major public health issue worldwide. In most countries, injury is the leading cause of death and disability for children and young adults age 1 to 39 years. Each year in the United States, injury claims about 170,000 lives and results in over 30 million emergency room visits and 2.5 million hospitalizations. Injury is medically defined as organ/tissue damages inflicted upon oneself or by an external agent either accidentally or deliberately. Injury encompasses the undesirable consequences of a wide array of events, such as motor vehicle crashes, poisoning, burns, falls, and drowning, medical error, adverse effects of drugs, suicide and homicide. The past two decades have witnessed a remarkable growth in injury research, both in scope and in depth. To address the tremendous health burden of injury morbidity and mortality at the global level, the World Health Organization in 2000 created the Department of Injury and Violence Prevention, which has produced several influential reports on violence, traffic injury, and childhood injury. The biennial World Conference on Injury Control and Safety Promotion attracts a large international audience and has been successfully convened nine times in different countries. In the United States, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control became an independent program of the federal Centers for Disease Prevention and Control in 1997. Since then, each state health department has created an office in charge of injury prevention activities and over a dozen universities have established injury control research centers. This volume will fill an important gap in the scientific literature by providing a comprehensive and up-to-date reference resource to researchers, practitioners, and students working on different aspects of the injury problem and in different practice settings and academic fields.
著者について
Dr. Guohua Li is the Finster Professor of Epidemiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and College of Physicians & Surgeons. A medical epidemiologist, Dr. Li is interested in research methodology and injury-related, population-based and policy-oriented studies that encompass innovative epidemiologic designs, novel biostatistical techniques, and complex data systems. Dr. Li has published over 130 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and is well known for his studies of aviation crashes and the role of alcohol in injury causation and trauma outcomes. A Guggenheim Fellow and a Fellow of the American College of Epidemiology, Dr. Li is the recipient of the Kenneth Rothman Epidemiology Prize (1999) and the John Paul Stapp Award (2009). Dr. Susan P. Baker is the Professor of Health Policy and Management and the founding director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She is widely recognized as one of the founders of the scientific discipline of injury epidemiology and prevention and is credited for developing the Injury Severity Score, a simple and effective tool for measuring the severity of multiple trauma that has been used worldwide by clinicians and researchers. She has authored over 300 publications, including the influential text Injury Fact Book, 1st and 2nd editions. Prof. Baker has received numerous awards, including the Charles A. Dana Award for Pioneering Achievements in Health and Higher Education and the Excellence in Research Award of the American Public Health Association.

Essential resource for public health and injury professionals
2012/2/14
形式:ハードカバー
Drs. Li and Baker, international leaders in injury research, have put together a landmark text. This is by far the most thorough overview of the injury field. A must-have for any public health or injury library - institutional or personal. No other collection comes close.
Indispensable

形式:ハードカバー
I can't recommend this book highly enough. Dr. Li and Professor Baker have brought together a remarkable group of authors, each a leader in their area of specialization, to present the state of the art and science of injury epidemiology. Very much in the spirit of William Haddon, it lays out a logical, practical and theoretically rigorous approach to injury research and control that can be applied across the life course. It is, simply put, destined to be indispensable for anyone interested in the critical public health issue of preventing and controlling injuries.
In the interests of full disclosure, I know and have worked with both Dr. Li and Professor Baker, but I think most folks in the field of public health share my admiration for their efforts in preventing injuries and saving lives. This book is their further enduring contribution to injury epidemiology. It belongs on the shelves of every medical and public health institution in the nation.

A Must-Have-Reference Book
2012/2/13
形式:ハードカバー
This is the first book in Injury Research addressing an array of topics from surveillance to statistical approaches in injury research. The editors, Dr. Guohua Li and Professor Susan Baker, methodically organized the essential topical areas in injury research based on their years of excellent work in injury epidemiology, prevention, and control. While the methodological approaches presented are quintessential to injury research, they are also generic to other epidemiological investigations especially to events and outcomes that have short latency and putative causal etiologies. Significant amount of the information presented in this book is often difficult to find from other sources. Most injury researchers can accomplish much of the needed work in manuscript development, grant proposals, and implementing injury prevention and control programs solely relying on this book as the guide. The book is systematically organized into five parts and 36 chapters. Each chapter is written by highly acclaimed researchers with strong fund of knowledge on the subject matters presented. An avid injury researcher may also find this book a useful tool for appraisal and critiquing of journals and manuscripts. Unlike other books in the field that have minimal mention of quantitative approaches, this book is comprehensive and exhaustive to serve as the compendium in injury research. Taken together, this book is must-have reference for anyone engaged in injury research and epidemiological investigation of diseases.
