Injury Prevention

Alcohol Abuse and Misuse Prevention - The Task Force on Community Preventive Services selected “alcohol use and abuse” as a priority topic for a systematic review. In general, the criteria for topic selection were: burden of disease, injury, impairment, or exposure; preventability; and related initiatives such as Healthy People 2010. The Task Force had already selected tobacco and other addictive drugs as priority topics.
