Community-Based Interventions For Prevention of Motor Vehicle Injuries
Community based interve-ntions for enhancing the generalization of the benefits of health programs، providing information for policymakers and impro-ving the community health are more appr-opriate than the patient-centered clinical trials. The community-based approaches for preventing injuries are widely accepted but there is a little strong evidence of the effect-tiveness of programs with multiple obje-ctives in the community. Therefore current study aimed to review the community-based interventions for preventing motor vehicle inj-uries.
The research was a review study. Community-based interve-ntions، injury، safe traffic behavior and seat belt were used as keywords in the databa-ses، Scienc-edirect، Pubmed، Ovid، Oxfo-rdjournals، EBS-CO and Cochrane to sear-ch systematic revie-ws. A total of 28 com-munity-based interventi-ons related articles on injuries were reviewed. The results of these articles were analyzed.
The most of the studies were non-randomized controlled clinical trials (78. 57%) and were mainly carried out in the USA (46. 43%). The interventions were mainly as integrated approachs (60. 71%). The primary outcomes of the studies were the use of helmet (35. 72%)، unintentional injuries (14. 28%)، high-risk driving behaviors (10. 72%)، use of child seat (7. 14%)، use of seat belt (10. 72%) and safe traffic behaviors (21. 42%) Discussion &
In general، the integration of several strategies or the community-based interventions alone has a preventive effect on traffic injuries. We recommend a combination of multiple methods to prevent traffic injuries.
