TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - On cogency, professional bias, and public policy: an assessment of four views of the injury problem JO - Milbank quarterly A1 - Linder, S. H. SP - 276 EP - 301 VL - 65 IS - 2 N2 - Four professional views of the injury problem--medical, public health, legal, and economic--focus on different causal frameworks, each of which constrains the nature of preventive interventions. When these interprofessional disagreements are coupled with a lack of political cogency, action is likely to be uncoordinated and transient. Strong premises provide a firm foundation for inference, but they also function as barriers to integration and public consensus formation for prevention of injuries.
