Working Groups
Working groups are being established to aid researchers from differing areas to complete reviews and reports on the same or similar topics.
Discussion topics
The theoretical work of this expert group is structured in discussion topics, which are typically lead by one or more core members of the expert group. When a new issue of relevance to the injuries component of the GBD project is identified by the group, it is referred to one of these discussion topics. If the subject is not adequately covered by any of these discussion topics, a new topic is added to the list.
The discussion topics usually evolve via email exchanges and are only periodically updated on this website. Please assume that the discussion listed here is at least a little out of date. If you are interested in a discussion topic, please contact its lead author to find out about current status.
It is expected that most of these discussion topics will become academic research publications. Thus, authorship of these discussions is expected to be based on contribution to the topic as is broadly accepted by the academic community. Furthermore the materials presented in these discussions are the intellectual property of the listed authors.
