About this product
Product Information
This text presents epidemiologic methods for studying injuries and evaluating interventions to prevent them. It explains the formation of research questions, the sources of reliable and valid data, and the choice of research methods. The difficulties of applying rates and ratios to the evaluation of programs are discussed, and the use of economic concepts and policy analysis is covered. The Second Edition provides specific objectives for research needed in the various stages of injury control planning and implementation, including the types of data needed to reach the objectives. In a progressive, step-by-step analysis, the posing of research questions and the research designs that best answer those questions are illustrated. Examples of the use of surveillance systems to direct allocation of countermeasures of known effectiveness are updated. The false nexus between causation and prevention is clarified and the notion of the causal web is demystified. New studies of the effects of behavioral interventions, laws, and regulations are reviewed. The increasing gap between what is known and what is assumed in regulatory and cost-benefit analyses is discussed.

Reviews
"Begins with an excellent discussion of the various forms of physical energy that are the agents of injury, a description of the Haddon model of understanding the phases and components that comprise injury events and offer options for intervention, and a consideration of standard epidemiologicresearch methods. A useful review of limitations of current data systems and a description of methods for categorizing injury severity also appear. Throughout the book, Robertson has inserted provocative questions yet to be answered, which should stimulate epidemiologic studies over the next severalyears."--American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 1.

This transaction gets a positive rating reluctantly. The CD plays perfectly, but the case is severely cracked. The seller's description indicated that the case was cracked, but I suspect that it sustained further damage because of inadequate packaging. A CD should not be shipped in a soft plastic mailer, even if it has interior bubble wrap, without additional protection, such as taping a piece of cardboard to the front and back of the CD.
