低收入和中等收入国家受到预期寿命缩短和生活质量下降的严重影响。伤害是造成全球健康不平等的因素，但伤害往往造成长期残疾，这是一项重大负担。美国国立卫生研究院福格蒂国际中心召集了一个由来自美国和中低收入国家的创伤和伤害专家组成的小组，以确定这一领域的研究差距和创造新知识的机会。小组成员确定，通过高收入国家和中低收入国家机构之间的稳定联系建立可持续的研究项目是优先事项。在世界各地资源紧张的环境中，解决日益加重的创伤和伤害负担将带来巨大的好处。
Low- and middle-income countries suffer disproportionately from reduced life expectancy and quality of life. Injuries are overlooked as contributors to global inequities in health, yet the long-term disabilities they frequently produce represent a significant burden. The Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health convened a panel of experts in trauma and injury from the United States and low- and middle income nations to identify research gaps in this area and opportunities to create new knowledge. Panel members identified sustainable programs of research established through stable linkages between institutions in high-income nations and those in low- and middle income nations as a priority. The resulting benefits of addressing the growing burden of trauma and injury to communities in resource-constrained settings around the world would be substantial.
