Description

This text provides students with the practical skills and strategies necessary to effectively plan, promote, implement, and operate effective public health injury prevention programs. The prevention of unintentional injuries, especially childhood and adolescent injuries, is emphasized as the major focus of public health agency injury prevention efforts.
