• .Public Health Burden of Road Traffic Injuries: An Assessment from Ten Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Traffic Injury Prevention
  Included in our nearly 100 scientific papers are two special issues dedicated to the work JH-IIRU has done in the Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Road Safety Program. The first, published in Traffic Injury Prevention in the spring of 2012, "Public Health Burden of Road Traffic Injuries: An Assessment from Ten Low- and Middle-Income Countries," includes 11 scientific papers jointly authored with 50 colleagues from JH-IIRU and their in-country collaborators as well as the WHO, and highlights new and aggregate data collected and analyzed in the 10 participating countries during the first two years of the project. The papers range from investigating the rising trend of pedestrian and motorcycle passenger mortality in Brazil to examining the projected economic impact of the Global Road Safety Program, to reviewing national data sources of road traffic injuries in China.
