Every day, thousands of people are killed and injured on roads around the world, with the costs of this growing, but largely preventable, public health concern disproportionately affecting vulnerable social groups and developing countries. In order to address these issues, the World Health Organization and the World Bank have produced this joint report on road traffic injury prevention, based on the collaborative contributions of experts and institutions, from all continents and different sectors, including transport, engineering, health, police, education and civil society. It presents a comprehensive overview of the magnitude, risk factors and impact of road traffic injuries, and about ways to prevent and lessen the impact of road crashes.

Injuries and violence pose a major public health and development problem worldwide, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries, resulting in an estimated five million deaths each year, as well as many more who suffer non-fatal but disabling injuries. This publication seeks to help improve the lack of reliable and valid injury information, by providing guidance for the use of a robust but accessible methodology for collecting community injury data, with the aim of highlighting this serious public health problem.
