Abstract |
Can we persuade children to wear cycle helmets? Does installing cameras at road junctions with traffic signals reduce crash rates? Does the "safe community" scheme endorsed by WHO actually work? These are typical instances of where interventions to reduce injury "make sense"; however, a thorough evaluation of their use is required to determine whether they actually deliver the goods. Authors working with the Cochrane Injuries Group (CIG) have therefore recently undertaken systematic reviews that address these three questions. |
