Effective measures  print friendly

The idea for the Effective Measures in Injury Prevention (EMIP) database originated from the work of injury practitioners and experts in the field. They identified the need to build capacity among those working in injury prevention by providing relevant and accessible information on current knowledge about the effectiveness of preventive measures to enhance decision making in injury prevention.

The scope of EMIP is all injuries (intentional and unintentional) and all ages. Information in the database is primarily based on existing reviews with a focus on systematic reviews. If high quality reviews are not available, other literature including original articles have been reviewed. Evidence statements are developed and reviewed by experts from the appropriate area of the injury field prior to being added to the database.
