Yet until recently they have been considered a random, normal part of life. Preventing injuries, on the other hand, requires not only effective communication with the public, but also a reliable framework for creating and evaluating suitable interventions.The Handbook of Injury and Violence Preventionis the first book to address both halves of this challenge, reviewing evidence-based intervention programs in depth so professionals can identify successful, promising, and ineffective (and potentially harmful) prevention strategies. Over fifty experts present the current landscape of intervention methods - from risk reduction to rethinking social norms - as they address some of the most prevalent forms of accidental and violent injury, as well as emerging areas.- Overview chapters examine the social and economic scope of unintentional and violent injury today- Extensive literature review of specific intervention programs to prevent violence and injury- Special chapters on childhood injuries, alcohol-related accidents, and disasters- Interventions in the Field section offers solid guidelines for implementing and improving existing programs- Critical analysis of issues involved in delivering programs to wider audiences- Helpful appendices list relevant agencies and professional resources.This dual focus on intervention and application makes the Handbook a bedrock text for professionals involved in delivering or managing prevention programs. Its what-works-now approach gives it particular utility in the graduate classroom, and researchers will benefit from the critical attention paid to knowledge gaps in the field. Itis a major resource for any reader committed to reducing the number of incidents just waiting to happen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51823736226080,"sku":"NEW0387857699","price":83.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61VjuWCtxRL.jpg?v=1781201525","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/handbook-of-injury-and-violence-prevention-0387857699","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
