Abstract
Abstract: Background: Injuries are a focus of public health practice, because they pose a serious health threat. Injuries are preventable in most situations. Despite successes in many areas of injury prevention, the potential of preventing traumatic injuries has not been realized. There remains much to be done. The aim of this study was to investigate different public health approaches to injury control by article review. Methods: In the present review article, reputable internet databases were investigated. Studies that considered models of public health in injuries control were included in this review. The following databases were accessed for the period from beginning to 2018 for English publications: Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus and Science Direct .The terms “public health models” and “injury” were used. Articles had to meet the following inclusion criteria: focus on public health models and focus on injuries. The articles were critically appraised by using tools developed by the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP). The models were revealed by the literature reviewed, summarized for data synthesis. Results: From the literature review, we found two models in this area. First one is the causal model for traumatic injuries. It is easily adopted from the traditional epidemiologic causal model. The second one is the public health model. It advocate a cycle of surveillance, risk factor identification, intervention implementation and evaluation. Conclusions: The public health model and the causal model for traumatic injuries are sustainable framework to use in injury control and prevention. Keywords: Injury, Public health, Model
