This brown bag seminar is the part of an ongoing series to disseminate the findings of the second edition of Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (DCP2) to World Bank staff and external counterparts. This presentation will provide the audience with the main findings and recommendations from the DCP2 chapter on unintentional injuries. The policy implications of these main findings for Bank operations will also be discussed. (see Chapter 39: Unintentional Injuries) *************************************************************** The Disease Control Priorities Project (DCPP) is an effort to establish priorities for addressing disease control and produce evidence-based analysis and resource materials to inform health policymaking in developing countries. The DCPP has led to three volumes providing technical resources that can assist developing countries in setting priority interventions to improve the health of their people. In April 2006, DCPP released the second edition of Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (DCP2) that includes updated information about the global burden of diseases brought about by malaria, tobacco, HIV/AIDS, mental disorders and injury which account for an increasing proportion of deaths. DCP2 highlights cost-effective interventions based on an analysis of health systems, the scope of disease burdens, interventions and their costs, and prevention for an extensive range of diseases and outcomes.
