There's Safety in Numbers: Making the Case for Trauma Registries in Global Health
Manage episode 284575521 series 2571140
The data available on traumatic incidents is profound. Car accidents, wounding workplaces, bicycle mishaps, and home injuries can all be studied and analyzed for frequency, severity, demography and even geography. Cities in the the global North increasingly rely on data from trauma registries to make informed policy for urban planning and work safety. So too is it possible to improve global health outcomes in low and middle income countries through similar methods. However, the collection, storage and analysis of the data is a problem. There are so few registries for so many places, which leaves health policy makers in the lurch across the global South. Leah Rosenkrantz is working on making this system better.
Leah Rosenkrantz is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at Simon Fraser University. Her research involves exploring issues of global public health through both a spatial and ‘platial’ lens. Since beginning her PhD, Leah has worked on projects related to trauma registries in low- and middle-income countries, antimicrobial resistance, and most recently, COVID-19.
