About

Injury Prevention is the leading journal for public-health-focused injury prevention efforts to reduce the burden of injury in all age groups around the world. This includes understanding of not just the physical factors that contribute to injury but also the behavioural, commercial, political and social influences of injury risk. As an international peer-reviewed journal, it publishes original research, opinion, debate, and special features on the prevention of unintentional, and intentional (violence-related) injuries from a public health perspective, across multiple settings and contexts. It is particularly focussed on: furthering data-driven evidence to inform policy and practice responses; improving understanding of, and perceptions around, risks and the preventability of injuries; and documenting both implementation challenges and success stories to provide robust evidence to demonstrate that injury prevention efforts have real-world impact. Injury Prevention is committed to the publication, discussion, and dissemination of research to academics as well as to the injury prevention practitioner workforce and the general community. Injury Prevention is online only. It is the official journal of the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR).
