HICRC creates an injury prevention class exercise focusing on preventing firearm violence
An article describing a classroom exercise specifically designed for public health students interested in injury prevention appears in the journal Injury Prevention. The suggested exercise forces students to recognize and devise many policy and programmatic options over and above the ones that are normally discussed. Most important, it helps give students a better understanding of what is meant by, and the potential usefulness of, the public health approach to injury prevention. Examples in the article all deal with preventing firearm injury. The article, “Injury prevention class exercise: three-pronged list making” by David Hemenway appears in Injury Prevention epub ahead of publication.
