AI and big data in injury prevention

This month we talk with Dr Brett Shannon, John Monash Scholar and PhD Student at the University of Illinois Chicago, who has an extensive professional track record in medicine, epidemiology, business and policy to identify critical areas in need of further research in occupational health among Indigenous people.

Preventing occupational injury in Indigenous and First Nations people

Alcohol-related vehicle crashes pose a significant challenge to public health in suburban communities. The Evesham Saving Lives programme operated between late 2015 and 2019 in two townships in New Jersey. The programme subsidised rideshare (eg, Uber) trips from bars and restaurants to prevent alcohol-related traffic injuries, and is the basis of this month's podcast. Professor Rod McClure interviews David Humphreys, Associate Professor of Evidence-Based Intervention and Policy Evaluation, Research fellow at Green Templeton College, University of Oxford, about the editor’s choice paper of the month titled “Assessing the impact of a local community subsidised rideshare programme on road traffic injuries: an evaluation of the Evesham Saving Lives programme” and available here: https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/27/3/232.
