Modelling the population impact of injury

This project aims to model the long term, population impact of non-fatal injury through the use of cutting edge epidemiological modelling, sophisticated biostatistics, advanced econometrics, and geospatial analysis. This project will use population-based, linked longitudinal data to generate new knowledge about the long term impacts of injury, cost of injury, and expected burden into the future. Through the multi-disciplinary and multi-national collaborations established, it is anticipated that this project may lead to future changes in public health and social policy, prioritisation of injury prevention efforts, and establish the capacity to evaluate injury interventions and policy shifts as they occur.
