Abstract:
Community-based injury prevention programs are an important approach to the reduction of the burden of injury in all age groups. These programs may focus on education and behavioral change, increasing access to safer products, creating a safer environment, and passing and enforcing legislation. This article reviews some of the community-based injury prevention programs in Wisconsin that focus on the prevention of home- and transportation-related injuries. Community participation in the design and implementation of these programs will increase the likelihood of adopting safer behaviors on a community level. We are hopeful that physicians and other health care providers will be actively involved in community-based injury prevention activities in their locale.
