This document outlines priority actions for work groups to address the burden of violence and road injuries, including areas such as injury surveillance, early interventions, communication campaigns, and concerns around seatbelt wearing and cell phone usage. Suggested amendments are proposed to improve consistency and coverage, emphasizing the importance of mental health, broadening the scope of risk factors, and including a commitment to establishing a morbidity surveillance system.
E N D
Priority actions to address the burden and to be considered by work groups • Violence • High 5 areas • Injury surveillance (include morbidity measures) • Gap analysis / Interventions (early interventions for boys and young men) • Booza TV • General violence communication campaign • People are unhappy with the use of injuries and would prefer violence and injuries
Priority actions to address the burden and to be considered by work groups • RTI • Concerns raised around seatbelt wearing and cell phone which is addressed by. Institute enforcement for behaviour change.
Suggested amendments to the declaration and why? • Point 3 – term Quadruple and BOD not consistent with what is written • Mismatched disease types and groups at risks • Omission of mental health (disease group) and men as a risk group • Using injuries as a BOD term and unpacking it later down as violence and RTI including injuries and violence (can impact on general wellness eg. Immunization, nutrition etc.)
Suggested amendments to the declaration and why? • Separate workgroup focusing on mental health: can cover everything, in BOD review • 16B – too simplistic. Need to broaden it. Alcohol, amongst other things, is the key risk factor that needs to be addressed. • Emphasis on morbidity (burden of living with as opposed to dying from) needs to be included in the document. Commitment to establishing a key morbidity surveillance system. • Inconsistency in use of term ‘drug’ (point 21)
