[Health promotion and safety promotion. New trends in injury prevention].
The aim of the paper is to develop the concept of safety promotion that supports injury prevention in the last decade. The relationship between health promotion and safety promotion -was described, considering similarities, differences and possible interactions. Historically both concepts represent different traditions of public health and preventive medicine. Now they converge to a common point where actions aimed at both individuals and their life style and the community should be considered. In the second part, some international efforts to exchange experiences and provide information on effective strategies were presented. Systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses could help health care providers in setting priorities for future research and for implementations of interventions.
