This lecture introduces an emerging topic in global health today; injury epidemiology. Injuries represent a significant burden today in both developed and developing economies. They capture our interest very frequently through catastrophes such as an airplane crash or the motor vehicle crash in which Princess Diana died. Several individuals are working actively today to reduce their burden into the future. Many questions remain about the most appropriate way to do this.
