Define an injury problem that is affecting a particular geographical area.
[Germany and Road Traffic Injuries.]
Your task: Produce a Word document defining the injury problem. Your paper should be three pages in length (Times New Roman, double-spaced, 12-point font, one-inch margins).
Your injury problem definition should include the following:
The mechanism of injury you choose and how the injury is defined. (Road traffic injuries seem to be the highest in unintentional injury-related deaths from what I see.)
The geographic area of interest. (Mine is Germany).
What data is available?
Is there data conveying the impact of this injury in terms of mortality, morbidity, disability, and costs in your chosen geographic area?
What are the risk factors and protective factors?
How this injury burdens certain populations (i.e. race, ethnicity, age, sex, etc.)? Social impacts?
Are there any prevention or intervention services or programs available currently? If so, please explain.
