TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Calculating the risk of injury: Do we underestimate the true risk of injury? JO - Australasian epidemiologist A1 - Mitchell, Rebecca A1 - Driscoll, Tim SP - 4 EP - 4 VL - 19 IS - 2 N2 - Worldwide, injuries represent a significant public health issue, with around five million fatal injuries identified each year. While largely preventable, injuries are one of the leading causes of mortality and hospitalisation in Australia.
