| 8:30 AM – 9:45 AM PLENARY SESSION I: This Year in Public Health and Violence |
|
|
Trauma in general – and violent trauma in particular - is now recognized as a costly public health problem, but just 30 years ago the words “violence” and “health” were rarely used in the same sentence. Today, the public health approach to trauma and violence includes understanding background, frequencies, prevention, as well as the implementation of effective policies and programs. During this plenary session, two trauma experts explore the role of injury as a global health problem as well as society’s response to violence.
