Andrea Gielen On Injury Prevention and Politics
For people my own age, let's loosely say somewhere in your 30's, unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in the United States! In fact, one person is dying every three minutes from injury...And it's thought to cost us around $671 billion per year! Dr. Andrea Gielen is Director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Johns Hopkins and a very passionate person in general about getting the message out about how much injury is costing us each year--and all the many things we can do to help. The Center is also working on how to translate injury research into policy, and has many unique approaches worth hearing about.
