Abstract
A recently published impact evaluation overstates the benefits of IRAP protocols in reducing traffic injuries. This ICoRSI Position Statement clarifies the biases in the methods used in this study and how its findings should be interpreted. It further describes the potential value of road design in improving road safety in LMICs but highlights the urgent need for research on developing infrastructure interventions and evaluating them using real-world data from LMICs.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion (formerly Injury Control and Safety Promotion) publishes articles concerning all phases of injury control, including prevention, acute care and rehabilitation. Specifically, this journal will publish articles that for each type of injury: •describe the problem •analyse the causes and risk factors •discuss the design and evaluation of solutions •describe the implementation of effective programs and policies The journal encompasses all causes of fatal and non-fatal injury, including injuries related to: •transport •school and work •home and leisure activities •sport •violence and assault
