Abstract
Data is essential for injury epidemiology and is at the heart of all public health endeavors including injury and violence prevention. Epidemiology is used in public health to help determine the causes and outcomes, as well as the prevalence and incidence of cases of illness or injury in a population. This chapter will review the importance and application of data for hospital-based injury and violence prevention (HIVP) programs. Applying a public health framework and using a case study scenario throughout the chapter, we will discuss the following four sections on the use of data for HIVP programs: (1) using data to make a difference; (2) the trauma registry; (3) data sources beyond the trauma registry; and (4) data for program planning and implementation.
