A Model Process for Setting Military Injury Prevention Priorities and Making Evidence-Based Recommendations for Interventions
Abstract
This white paper describes two stages of a process for setting injury prevention priorities and making evidence-based recommendations for programs and policies. This process is designed to (1) identify the largest, most severe injury problems for the Services; (2) describe the existing scientific evidence for leading injury issues and make program and policy recommendations based on this evidence, and; (3) prioritize injury prevention programs and policies using a set of criteria that enables an objective evaluation of proposed prevention initiatives based on factors that contribute to the eventual success or failure of programs and policies. The paper should be useful to decisions makers, Commanders, and medical and safety professionals at the DoD, Military Service, and Major Command levels who have responsibility for preventing injuries and/or enhancing troop readiness, interpreting and/or tracking medical, safety, or readiness trends, or directing and managing research and development and health resources.
