In the first three decades of life, more individuals in the USA die from injuries and violence than from any other cause. Millions more people survive and are left with physical, emotional, and financial problems. Injuries and violence are not accidents; they are preventable. Prevention has a strong scientific foundation, yet efforts are not fully implemented or integrated into clinical and community settings. In this Series paper, we review the burden of injuries and violence in the USA, note effective interventions, and discuss methods to bring interventions into practice. Alliances between the public health community and medical care organisations, health-care providers, states, and communities can reduce injuries and violence. We encourage partnerships between medical and public health communities to consistently frame injuries and violence as preventable, identify evidence-based interventions, provide scientific information to decision makers, and strengthen the capacity of an integrated health system to prevent injuries and violence.
在人生的头三十年，美国因受伤和暴力而死亡的人数超过其他任何原因。还有数百万人幸存下来，但却留下了身体、情感和经济上的问题。受伤和暴力不是偶然事件；它们是可以预防的。预防措施有坚实的科学基础，但这些措施并没有得到充分实施或整合到临床和社区环境中。在本系列论文中，我们回顾了美国受伤和暴力的负担，指出了有效的干预措施，并讨论了将干预措施付诸实践的方法。公共卫生界与医疗保健组织、医疗保健提供者、州和社区之间的联盟可以减少受伤和暴力。我们鼓励医疗和公共卫生界之间建立伙伴关系，始终将受伤和暴力视为可预防的情况，确定基于证据的干预措施，向决策者提供科学信息，并加强综合卫生系统预防受伤和暴力的能力。
