A huge amount of research on preventing injuries is carried out across the world. It is difficult for injury prevention practitioners to keep up to date with the latest scientific evidence. Increasingly, scientists are pulling together all the high quality studies on particular topics and collating the results in systematic reviews.

The best way to find the best evidence quickly is to search for systematic reviews. CAPIC provides a regularly updated list of all the systematic reviews in injury prevention in a searchable format. We have included systematic reviews on risk factors for injury as well as on interventions to prevent injuries. Click on systematic reviews. to search this database.

CAPIC also contributes to the EuroSafe Effective Measures in Injury Prevention (EMIP) programme. EMIP produces short evidence statements on effective injury prevention interventions for busy practitioners. Click here to enter the EuroSafe EMIP website.

If there are any systematic reviews which you feel missed, please email Miss Samantha Turner with the details. There are also differences in systematic reviews carried out by different groups and practitioners. Judgements are made on which studies to include and this can affect the findings. We think it best for individuals to look at all the reviews and then decide. Therefore we provide access to all the reviews and not just the most recent.
