title: [For the primary prevention of the external causes of deaths].
abstract: Recently in Japan, the primary prevention for life-style related disease has been performed based on the comprehensive policies. Although more than 73-thousands of persons have died of external causes (i.e., accident, homicide, suicide), comprehensive preventive measures for them have not been established in Japan. The main objectives of injury research are to prevent the occurrence of injuries and to reduce their level of severity. Therefore, we medical staffs have to solve these problems and attend on the primary prevention of external causes of deaths.
