Conclusions: Our results suggest that Ugandan parents are aware of the risks of children ’s exposure to hazards, but may lack the tools to address it. Development of injury prevention interventions focusing on behavioral change techniques may help reduce childhood injury and injury-related deaths in Uganda.

Evaluating implementation of WHO Trauma Care Checklist vs. modified WHO checklist in improving trauma patient clinical outcomes and satisfaction
Conclusions:Both the WHO TCC and the WHO modified checklist, in the initial assessment and during the treatment and care processes, enhance patients ’ clinical outcomes. However, patients in the modified checklist compared to WHO TCC reported a higher level of satisfaction. Implications and future directions are discussed.

The value of the visual evoked potentials test in the assessment of the visual pathway in head trauma
Conclusion: The visual evoked potentials test shows not only additional diagnostic value, not seen on routine clinical and neuroimaging testing, but also rather a high validity in tracing visual disability in traumatic brain injury. (Source: Journal of Injury and Violence Research)

Suicidal continuum (ideation, planning, attempting) in an Islamic country; which should be focused on?
Conclusion: SI seems to be a more important predictor of suicide compared to SP, however, the fact that a significant number of attempters had not any previous detectable suicidal ideation or plan, indicates particular clinical considerations. We need to have some presuppositions about the factors leading to unplanned and unthoughtful suicide attempts. (Source: Journal of Injury and Violence Research)

Comparison of pre-hospital emergency services time intervals in patients with heart attack in Iran
Conclusion:The shorter response time interval and delivery time interval compare to the other studies may indicate improvement in the provision of EMS. Special attention should be paid to the facilities and equipment of vehicles during cold seasons in order to be in the shortest possible time. Also, more training and informing staff about the code of cardiac patients along with general public education can help improve these intervals. (Source: Journal of Injury and Violence Research)

Is driver education contributing towards road safety? a systematic review of systematic reviews
Conclusion: There was no evidence that driver education is an effective approach to reducing crashes or injuries. This negative result might be due to ineffective teaching methods. To improve road safety, it appears necessary to change the method or content of driving education since the current approaches to driving education do not reduce traffic crashes or injuries.

Developing safe community and healthy city joint model
Conclusions: SHPC model provides a parallel and comprehensive view on safety and health topics in a community.  The implementation of an integrated model could be one possible way to enhance the commitments on behalf of state and local government, and health system leaders to prioritize injuries and non-communicable disease prevention to address promotion, prevention, treatment and social consequences of mutual community-based interventions.

24th International Conference on Safe Community: count down to decade of action for road safety
 Worldwide, every year 1.35 million people die due to road traffic injuries (Global Traffic Safety Report 2018). Road traffic injuries are now the leading cause of death for children and young people (5-29 years old), as reported by the World Health Organisation (WHO).  The ‘Decade of Action’ for road safety (2011-2020) was a universal start to save millions of lives by taking a multi-disciplinary collaboration approach for road safety management. It encouraged countries to have safe road infrastructures, safe vehicles, safety-enhanced user behavior and improved ro ad-injury related health services. All ...
