An example of the Haddon Matrix as it is applied to injury prevention
strategies for overseas travelers is shown here. Persons are frequently
at risk for injuries from motor vehicle crashes at home and when
traveling. Hargarten has proposed the following strategies for reducing
your likelihood for injury (or it’s severity) when traveling. These
simple strategies include understanding the environment in which you
will be driving and selecting a car or vehicle that includes safety
devices.
