Digging deeper into the heterogeneity of injuries

In this month’s podcast, we bring you an orderly walk through the life of a senior in the field. It moves from childhood drivers through private, to not profit, to public sector experiences and how it all comes together in the current job of Professor Ian Pike, University of British Columbia, Canada.

Understanding your market for effective injury prevention

In this podcast, Editor-in-Chief of Injury Prevention, Rod McClure,talks to Dr. Becky Naumann. She is a research assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology and core faculty at UNC's Injury Prevention Research Center. Dr. Naumann’s main area of research has focused on understanding risk factors and trends of unintentional injuries and evaluating injury prevention interventions, largely in the areas of road traffic injury and opioid overdose.

Opioids, road safety, and the effectiveness of public policy as an injury prevention tool

In this podcast, Rod McLure talks to Associate Professor Bridget Kool about New Zealand's success in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. They also discuss the implications of this success for injury prevention.

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/

Engineering health and sustainable mobility in the post-COVID-19 era

In this podcast, Editor-in-Chief of Injury Prevention Rod McClure invites Dr Margie Peden, Head of the Global Injury Programme at the George Institute, University of Oxford, and co-Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Injury Prevention and Trauma Care. The conversation takes them from clinical practice in trauma units in South Africa to her work in injury prevention with the WHO, in Geneva, for almost 20 years.

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

Road crash injury risks: dangerous vehicles and gender disparities

What does it mean to be an injury prevention scientist? Rod McClure asks Associate Professor Lyndal Bugeja (Nursing and Midwifery and the Department of Forensic Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia). They also discuss the challenge of the fragmentation of disciplines in the Injury Prevention field.

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.

Road safety and violence prevention - interview with Dr Andres Villaveces

The focus of the podcast this month is the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR). Editor-in-Chief Rod McClure chats to the President of the SAVIR, Dr Linda Degutis, about the work of the society and the role of the journal of Injury Prevention on the work of preventing and treating injury and violence. https://www.savirweb.org/ https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/

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).

A vision of safer cities

It started with a campaign for the bicycle helmet in children. It didn’t become a national priority, but helped to increase its usage from 2% to 70% in the last two decades in the USA. Dr. Abraham “Abe” Bergman has dedicated most of his long career as a pediatrician to the field of injury prevention. He helped found the Harborview Center and, at 87, he tells Editor-in-Chief of Injury Prevention Rod McClure some of his success stories, but also frustrations of the last 60 years.

Dr Deb Azrael tells the "origin story" of firearms injury as a public health problem through the lens of one of the key firearms research groups in the US over nearly 30 years. She also discusses current data of gun possession, suicide rates and the real challenges of this problem in the country.
