ROAD ACCIDENT PREVENTION RESEARCH UNIT (ROADWATCH), DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT, 1993-94
This Annual Report demonstrates that the Road Accident Prevention Research Unit (Roadwatch), which was established in March 1989 in the Department of Public Health, University of Western Australia, and is the only research unit in Western Australia dedicated to road traffic research, has been highly successful in managing a balanced portfolio of research, that meets both the criteria of relevance to existing road safety practice and excellence as judged against international academic standards. The report is notable for the diversity of research, continuing education and community service activities undertaken by Roadwatch, but there have also been areas of concentration on issues of crucial importance to the improvement of public health. Two excellent examples are the Unit's work on the involvement of Aboriginal people in road traffic crashes and on bicycle safety. The research in these areas has public health implications that reach much further than the prevention of road injury alone. The contents of this report are organized as follows: Foreward, C. D'Arcy J. Holman; Director's Review, G. Anthony Ryan; Introduction to the Road Accident Prevention Research Unit; Administration; Funding, Research Grants, and Consultancies; Special Article - The Western Australian Road Injury Database; Review of Research 1993 and 1994; Collaboration and Involvement with Other State, National, and International Agencies; Conference and Seminar Presentations; Publications; Academic Activities; Roadwatch Seminars; Roadwatch Library; Conference - Measuring the Burden of Injury, scheduled for February 15-16, 1996; and Appendix A - Details of Research Grants and Consultancies.
