Klappentext Every three minutes someone in the United States dies from an injury due to such causes as fires and burns, homicide and suicide, poisoning, drowning, falls, and motor vehicle crashes. Injuries are the leading cause of death for people ages 1 to 44 and the leading cause of years of potential life lost before age 65. Injuries and violence are substantial problems not only in the U.S. but globally as well, and they exact a huge toll on the health of people throughout the world. Injury and Violence Prevention: Behavioral Science Theories, Methods, and Applications is a cutting-edge volume that provides a comprehensive understanding of injury and violence prevention. This detailed resource draws on the breadth and depth of many scientific disciplines and public health practice experiences. Written by internationally renowned experts in the field, Injury and Violence Prevention emphasizes the specific theories, methods, and applications that make behavioral science approaches relevant and central to reducing injury-related harm. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the most frequently used behavior change theories and models and shows how they have been--or could be--applied to injury problems, the most commonly used research methods for understanding and influencing behavior change, behavior change issues for specific injury topic areas, and a variety of cross-cutting issues important to the field. Injury and Violence Prevention suggests new lines of research and multidisciplinary collaborations that can serve as an inspiration to behavioral and social scientists, health psychologists, health educators, injury prevention specialists, and others in public health who wish to explore more fully the exciting challenge of preventing injury and violence.
