This Working Package is officially titled 'The burden of injuries in the EU: indicators and recommendations for prevention and control' and is coordinated by researchers and staff at the University of Navarra.
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. In addition, researchers from more than 20 European countries are participat in the project.
 Aim
 Outcomes
- Assessment of the burden of injuries in WP2 participating European countries, with special emphasis on the burden of non-fatal injuries and their economic impact;
- Selection and implementation of relevant burden indicators for injury prevention monitoring in the region;
- Capacity building for continued estimation of the burden in years to come by participating countries. This includes the development and distribution of computer software that will facilitate the tasks in less resourceful environments;
- An annotated inventory of injury prevention interventions that are likely to be most efficient in light of the current circumstances.
