Abstract:
Injuries are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality for children and youth. However, many of these injuries are preventable. A systematic, scientific approach-using the Haddon Matrix and the Injury Equity Framework-can guide the design, implementation, and evaluation of effective prevention strategies. The "7 Es" of injury prevention (Economics, Education, Empowerment, Enforcement, Engineering, Environment, and Equity) provide a comprehensive foundation for developing interventions. Pediatric clinicians play a vital role as advocates and researchers, advancing injury prevention at the patient, health system, and population levels.
