Understanding and preventing road deaths using coronial investigations

该项目旨在研究致命的交通事故在澳大利亚使用公共卫生和道路安全的理论框架的死因调查。致命的道路碰撞是突然的，意想不到的和暴力的。每一次死亡都会产生持久的影响，造成不可估量的情感代价和每年超过38亿美元的财政负担。预期结果将有助于理解致命的道路碰撞，包括碰撞前的社会因素（如酒精/药物的使用和依赖，失业，年龄），道路安全政策和实践的使用和影响，以及预防澳大利亚道路上的死亡。

This project aims to study coronial death investigations of fatal road crashes in Australia using public health and road safety theoretical frameworks. Fatal road crashes are sudden, unexpected and violent. Each fatality has a lasting effect resulting in immeasurable emotional costs and a financial burden in excess of $3.8 billion per year. Intended outcomes will contribute to understanding of fatal road crashes including pre-crash social factors (e.g. alcohol/drug use and dependence, unemployment, age), the use and effect of coronial recommendations on road safety policy and practice, and preventing deaths on Australian roads.
