On preventing all injuries: a response to Pless.

Pless argues that the positions we put forward in our 2011 Commentary are ‘entirely wrong’ and challenges us to respond. 2 We believe Pless has misunderstood parts of our Commentary and is wrong in respect to other parts, and so we have addressed the areas of disagreement that he raises. We have responded in detail as we believe the issues involved are fundamental to making significant progress in injury prevention. First though, we give a re-statement of the position taken by Molcho, Pickett, Rivara, Langley and Cryer in their respective Commentaries. 3 4
