Injury Prevention is one of the leading international journals in this field. The journal gradually broadened its initial focus on child and adolescent injuries to include the prevention of injuries in all age groups. It has also expanded its scope to include all types of unintentional injuries, as well as occupational and intentional (violence-related) injuries.
Unlike many scientific journals, Injury Prevention is more than a collection of original articles, brief reports or methodological issues. To ensure its appeal to both academics and front-line workers, Injury Prevention regularly includes a News and Notes section and many other special features: program reports, guest editorials, commentaries, fillers, book reviews, and letters.
