Injury Prevention was successfully launched in March 1995 as the 
official journal of the International Society for Child and Adolescent 
Injury Prevention. Within a few years the journal broadened its focus to 
include the prevention of injuries in all age groups. It has also 
expanded its scope to include all types of unintentional injuries, as 
well as occupational and intentional (violence-related) injuries.

Although it has been indexed by the National Library of Medicine since 
its second year and is also included in Index Medicus. Unlike many 
scientific journals, Injury Prevention is more than a collection of 
original articles, brief reports and methodological issues. To ensure 
its appeal to both academics and front-line workers, Injury Prevention 
regularly includes a News and Notes section and many other special 
features: program reports, guest editorials, commentaries, fillers, book 
reviews, and letters.

Above all, the papers reflect the Journal's international orientation. 
As well as regular contributions from the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand 
and Canada, in the past year papers have appeared from Taiwan, Pakistan, 
Brazil, Ghana, and Sweden. The large and distinguished editorial board 
represents 20 different countries.

Furthermore, unlike many disciplines, the field is rife with controversy 
and the journal reflects this by publishing special articles under the 
heading of Opinion-Dissent or Bones of Contention. Nor does the Journal 
shy away from addressing the political element underlying many injury 
control issues. Consequently, Injury Prevention has stimulated great 
interest and debate worldwide.
