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.
 EMIP definitions of good practice
 Target audience
The intended audiences for the EMIP database are professionals, i.e. those who need information about the effectiveness of preventive measures and intervention strategies such as researchers, public health professionals and policy-makers and programme developers at national and local level in Europe. As such it was not specifically designed for use by consumers.
Scope
Launch
While EMIP will be officially launched at the end of 2008, building and filling the database is a continuous process as new topics and new research becomes available. The topics covered in the initial launch will include child safety, sport safety, vulnerable road users, and safety for seniors.
EuroSafe, in partnership with the Dutch Consumer Safety Institute has developed the database on Effective Measures in Injury Prevention (EMIP) as part of the European Commission funded and EuroSafe led initiative SafeStrat.
