T​hese APHC Injury Prevention Program (IPP) products represent the IPP's synthesis of scientific evidence regarding the types of injuries associated with activities, risk factors, and means to reduce injuries. These products are intended to assist medical and non-medical personnel. When evidence is inadequate, practice guidelines based on the subject matter expertise may be recommended.
