Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To introduce the field of injury control and public health approaches to injury prevention. METHODS: A review of injury epidemiology, definitions, intervention approaches, and the importance of injury as a public health problem. RESULTS: Injuries are a large national and international problem affecting families and communities. Injuries are predictable and preventable. Behavioral, environmental, and technological solutions will be necessary to reduce or eliminate injuries. CONCLUSIONS: Reductions in injury and their costs to families and communities are possible but will need support, collaboration, and partnering at the local level.
