De la contraportada

Every three minutes someone in the United States dies from an injury due to such causes as fires and burns, homicide and suicide, poisoning, drowning, falls, and motor vehicle crashes. Injuries are the leading cause of death for people ages 1 to 44 and the leading cause of years of potential life lost before age 65. Injuries and violence are substantial problems not only in the U.S. but globally as well, and they exact a huge toll on the health of people throughout the world.
