Summary
Evaluating interventions to prevent serious road traffic crashes. This project aims to advance knowledge on the prevention of road traffic crashes that result in serious injury or death. Road traffic injuries are the second leading cause of hospitalised injury and injury-related deaths in Australia, and are estimated to cost the economy $27 billion annually. This project will establish a data collection system that will evaluate existing and novel countermeasures to serious road traffic crashes. ....Evaluating interventions to prevent serious road traffic crashes. This project aims to advance knowledge on the prevention of road traffic crashes that result in serious injury or death. Road traffic injuries are the second leading cause of hospitalised injury and injury-related deaths in Australia, and are estimated to cost the economy $27 billion annually. This project will establish a data collection system that will evaluate existing and novel countermeasures to serious road traffic crashes. The outcome of this project will inform road safety policies and cost-effective countermeasures. Insights from the project can contribute to road safety improvements in Australia and a substantial reduction in the burden of fatal and non-fatal road traffic injury.Read moreRead less
Visual field impairment and injury: A population-based study. This project aims to link a large-scale ophthalmic database of visual field tests to population-based injury data which includes police-reported crash data, hospitalisation, death and trauma data in people aged over 60 years. The identification of individuals with high risk visual fields will enable the development of targeted interventions at the local, national and international level to prevent injuries due to visual field loss.

This project aims to link a large-scale ophthalmic database of visual field tests to population-based injury data which includes police-reported crash data, hospitalisation, death and trauma data in people aged over 60 years. The identification of individuals with high risk visual fields will enable the development of targeted interventions at the local, national and international level to prevent injuries due to visual field loss. Significant benefits include a reduction in the number of injuries and consequent reductions in personal harm and health care demands.Read moreRead less
Advancing cycling as an active transport mode using data driven approaches. This research program aims to provide the critical evidence that is needed to advance cycling as an active and sustainable mode of transport. Through interdisciplinary research and multi-national collaborations, the program will develop a world-leading data platform that will monitor, inform and evaluate cycling, and use this platform to provide the evidence that is needed to enhance cycling participation, safety and inf ....Advancing cycling as an active transport mode using data driven approaches. This research program aims to provide the critical evidence that is needed to advance cycling as an active and sustainable mode of transport. Through interdisciplinary research and multi-national collaborations, the program will develop a world-leading data platform that will monitor, inform and evaluate cycling, and use this platform to provide the evidence that is needed to enhance cycling participation, safety and infrastructure. The outcomes of the research will revolutionise our ability to implement safe and connected cycling infrastructure in areas of greatest need, leading to reduced injury, greater equity and wider uptake of cycling as a mode of transport, thereby leading to substantial gains in population and environmental health.Read moreRead less
