In a controlled trial of lead abatement, for example, the control group could receive an injury reduction intervention (Rhoads et al. 1999).
Before its nationwide implementation, the effectiveness of the intervention on injury reduction among volleyball players should be conducted.
This provides the opportunity to gain necessary knowledge required to scale up the effective interventions as the basis of a national child injury reduction program.
These findings are important due to their potential for injury reduction, performance benefit and cost saving practices for a relatively low cost intervention.
Aside from injury reduction measures, there is very little empirical data on the impact of road transport interventions.
For all targeted disaster health risk reduction interventions, sustained knowledge enhancement (12 months post-intervention) was demonstrated.
From this, strategies to guide injury reduction could be developed.
Injury reduction dominates transport and health research [ 12].
The longitudinal study included an embedded randomized control trial of a lead hazard reduction intervention and injury hazard reduction control.
Also for bicyclists significant injury reductions were found.
