Despite the contribution that injury makes to mortality and morbidity in many countries, especially for persons of younger ages, it is often regarded as a "poor cousin" in health research, attracting few research resources and little attention from epidemiologists and health research workers. However, the skills learned in studying the epidemiology of infectious or chronic diseases stand in good stead when the causes, management, and prevention of injury are examined.
