Injury Epidemiology
This important textbook presents epidemiologic methods for studying injuries and evaluating interventions to prevent them. The formation of research questions and the choice of research methods may reveal or obscure patterns that can lead to remarkable reductions in injury. Injury control programs can be targeted and improved with the help of relatively simple descriptive studies, but some changeable factors are revealed only by more sophisticated analytic methods. The sources for reliable, valid data and exemplary study designs are described in this text. In addition, the difficulties in using rates and ratios and in applying epidemiologic methods when evaluating programs, laws, medical care, and regulations are discussed in detail. The use of economic concepts and policy analysis--topics not usually found in epidemiology texts--is also covered. Students and health care and safety professionals will find this a valuable guide in studying injury epidemiology and prevention.

Drugs and Driving
Drugs and Driving is a compendium of papers from a symposium of the same title presented at the U.S. Transportation Research Board. This collection reviews the effects of five classes of drugs on driving (amphetamines, tranquilizers, barbiturates, narcotics, cannabis), the other studies being made on drugs and driving, as well as some countermeasure programs against drunk driving. The papers report that amphetamines can induce risky driving behavior, tranquilizers can increase traffic accident risks, barbiturates can degrade driving skills especially when the drug is combined with alcohol, while marijuana use can impair important driving skills. Another paper evaluates drug use and driving r...
Injury in America
"Injury is a public health problem whose toll is unacceptable," claims this book from the Committee on Trauma Research. Although injuries kill more Americans from 1 to 34 years old than all diseases combined, little is spent on prevention and treatment research. In addition, between $75 billion and $100 billion each year is spent on injury-related health costs. Not only does the book provide a comprehensive survey of what is known about injuries, it suggests there is a vast need to know more. Injury in America traces findings on the epidemiology of injuries, prevention of injuries, injury biomechanics and the prevention of impact injury, treatment, rehabilitation, and administration of injury research.
