WP2 consists of six projects. The central or "core" project, led by Dr. Segui-Gomez consists on the actual development of a ·burden of (non-fatal) injuries in EU· report. There are 5 other projects on additional work on severity indicators, costs of injuries, exposure measures, efficient preventive interventions to reduce the burden and a policy document.
These additional pieces of work are led, respectively by Drs. Pitidis, Mulder, Frangakis, McDaid and Skalkidis and the interested reader is encouraged to contact them directly for further informationThe aim of this WP is to produce evidence relevant for European policy makers on the burden of injuries together with information on the efficiency of relevant injury prevention interventions.
