Nationwide public health responses: what can we learn from COVID-19 to prevent injury

Fewer cars, more walking and cycling after the COVID-19 pandemic, suggests the Head of Sustainable Mobility and Safety Research at Monash University in this month’s podcast. Dr Ben Beck, who’s the President of the Australasian Injury Prevention Network, believes that enhancing safety and reducing injury will require a shift in cities infrastructure investments. He also tells Editor-in-Chief of Injury Prevention, Rod McClure, how his path in this field started through biomechanics. https://blogs.bmj.com/injury-prevention/2020/03/19/covid19-latest-news-and-resources-at-the-bmj/

Dr Margie Peden - from nursing and clinical practice to global health

Motorcycles pose higher risk to other road users than cars, according to the study discussed in this podcast. Rod McClure talks to Dr Rachel Aldred, University of Westminster, about her recent paper published by Injury Prevention, which analyses the risk of injury to others constituted by six different transport modes, driver's/riders’ gender and type of roads. The study also confirms that men drivers pose more risk than women drivers to the community. Read the paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/injuryprev-2019-043534

Overcoming the fragmentation of the injury prevention field

In this podcast, Rod McClure discusses with statistician Yvette Holder the importance of data and evidence-based driven decisions in the context of 'Injury Surveillance', a field of injury prevention which is all about understanding the nature of the injury problem, its causes, and then helping people implement solutions.

What is Injury Surveillance?

Dr Andrés Villaveces, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, CDC USA, has come from 'grassroots' through the main injury prevention institutions of the world. He tells Rod McClure about his pathway to injury prevention and leaves some advice for students in this area.

Violence and Injury Research - why does it matter?

Technology is bringing both challenges and new solutions to the injury prevention science. Professor Richard Franklin, Co-Director of the World Safety Organisation Collaborating Centre for Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion, James Cook University, Australia, has a positive view of the future of our cities, which will rely much more on active and safe transportation. He tells Editor-in-Chief of Injury Prevention Rod McClure about the evidence-based and public health approaches of his work, especially in rural populations. They also discuss the upcoming Safety 2020 - the world conference taking place in Adelaide, Australia, which organising committee Professor Franklin is part of (https://www.worldsafety2020.com).
