This paper represents a personal reflection on what is needed worldwide to prevent child injuries. It repeats messages that have been frequently delivered in the past. The main points are: first, the need for everyone to accept the view that, ultimately, injuries are a health problem and health departments must view them as such. Second, although increased and improved research is undoubtedly important, it is futile and frustrating if the results of existing research are not acted upon. Third, governments must play a central role by creating a national focus for the coordination and implementation of programmes whose value has been established. These points require widespread support if we hope to make genuine progress towards the goals reflected in this issue of the Bulletin.Une traduction en français de ce résumé figure à la fin de l'article.

“…Surveys are one-off, episodic or repeated at regular intervals 23. They are used to collect detailed data, though clearly at risk of recall bias related to self-report 23. Registries are the file of data concerning all cases of a particular disease, in a defined population, such that the cases can be related to a population base 24.…”

“…The purpose of injury surveillance is to monitor trends and target injury control measures which could lead to substantial reductions if implemented. Pless23 argues that while a great deal of resources are often spent on developing better surveillance systems, these are not often tied to preventive interventions. Finch26 argues that in raising the profile of sports injury, adequate surveillance is a necessary but not sufficient precursor to preventive efforts.…”
