Violence is a public health challenge defined by the
intentional use of physical force or power,
threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a
group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood
of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or
deprivation. More on violence
Injuries
is a major public health problem claiming more than 5
million lives every year and harming many millions more.
It is caused by acute exposure to physical agents, such as
mechanical energy, heat, electricity, chemicals and ionizing
radiation. More on injuries
Disabilities
is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity
limitations, and participation restrictions. An
impairment is a problem in body function or structure;
an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an
individual in executing a task or action; while a
participation restriction is a problem experienced by an
individual in involvement in life situations. Thus
disability is a complex phenomenon, reflecting an
interaction between features of a person’s body and
features of the society in which he or she lives.
