The issue of violence and injuries and its status as a major public health problem has gained significant political traction during the last two decades. Injuries from accidents (e.g., traffic collisions, drowning) and violence (e.g. assault, self-inflicted violence) account for more than five million deaths worldwide annually. Additionally, accidents and injuries are a significant cause of hospitalization, emergency department visits and may result in temporary or permanent disabilities.
