Summary

In order to allow for topics within the GBD project to run smoothly, working groups can opt to research topics collectively. These working groups will bring together experts and researchers in all areas of the field and allow for research to be conducted at the highest level possible. Working groups can be established for any of the Sequelea, External Causes or Comparative Risk Assesment topics focused on within the Injury Group. If you are interesting in creating or participating in a working group please contact Claire Bryan-Hancock at claire.bryanhancock@flinders.edu.au or James Harrison at james.harrison@flinders.edu.au

Established Working Groups

Hip Fracture

Members: Lidia Sanchez Riera, Lyn March, Cindy Kok, Wendy Watson, James Harrison, and Claire Bryan-Hancock

The next step: Finding interested researchers within our fields to help analyse and extract data from the short-listed articles.
