The Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit is identifying solutions, influencing public policy and advancing the field of injury prevention throughout the world. Injuries cause more than five million deaths every year, resulting in high economic and social costs for communities around the globe. These costs are greater in low and middle-income countries, where many public health systems
have yet to prioritize injuries as a major health concern, despite the cost-effective methods available to prevent them. Through research, collaboration and training, the Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit strives to identify effective solutions to the growing burden of injuries in low and middle-income populations, influence public policy and practice, and advance the field of injury prevention throughout the world. Our experts conduct intervention trials, economic analyses and surveillance studies in order to determine the impact of injuries in developing countries, and identify potential solutions. Our work ranges from road safety in Mexico to drowning prevention in Bangladesh.
