Definition
- Injury epidemiology involves characterization of occurrences of injuries, identification of risk factors, and the evaluation of prevention programs for injuries. Although the term injury could refer to almost any adverse health event, this term is generally used to refer to damage to human tissue resulting from exposure to energy delivered in excess of the threshold that human biological systems can tolerate.
