Revisiting current strategies for primary prevention of motorcycle collisions in Jamaica
J Inj Violence Res.
2010 Jan.
Abstract
Motorcycle Road Traffic Collisions place a heavy burden on emergency medical services in Jamaica. We explore the existing strategies and legislative policies that may prevent or reduce the severity of these injuries in Jamaica. This is an important aspect of health care as it may minimize the impact of these preventable injuries on the limited resources of the health services.
