Let’s spend some
more time talking about each of the major systems for identifying injuries.
The primary means to identify injuries is to establish a surveillance system.
What is a surveillance system? John Last has defined surveillance as the
regular assessment of disease or injuries, with a common method, and often
an approach that is simplistic rather than complex. One of the key words
here is regular assessment. Injury monitoring, such as that with death
certificates, is set up to evaluate injuries over time. With common methods,
this allows a researcher to examine changes over time in these events.
