چکیده
Routine scrutiny of the occurrence of injury is an essential component of effective public health injury control. Much can be achieved using data which are collected mainly for reasons other than public health injury surveillance. Coroners' records, hospital admission data, and workers' compensation records are examples of such data sources. The special virtue of these sources is that they are already in place, and the cost and difficulty of establishing a data collection system need not be borne (entirely) by those interested in injury prevention.
