Martín-Cantera et al. BMC Public Health 2010, 10:136 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/10/136 following main aims for 2010: 1. To reduce by 20% the mortality rate associated with RTI in the main 3 popula- tion groups where they are most frequent (see introduc- tion). 2. To reduce by 50% the mortality rate associated with RTI in men and women from 15 to 24 years old. 3. To reduce by 50% the mortality rates associated with RTI in drivers linked to an excessive intake of alcohol. 4. To reduce by 25% the prevalence of severe injuries associated with RTI in the 3 main population groups (see introduction). The elements evaluated in this study (medication, chronic health conditions, consumption of psychoactive substances), are often managed in the Primary Care field and are therefore registered in medical records. Moreover, these are aspects that are inherently related to the Primary Health Care field which means that the date is quite complete and difficult to attain in other existing registers. The improvement in the basic knowledge of risk levels of suffering from an RTI that this study aims to achieve is a necessary first step for the definition of preventative activities in primary health care in the near future. The research team sets out the possibility of creating a group with the population group, and establishing tele- phone monitoring within it to investigate the prospec- tive appearance of RTI, and the factors associated with them. With this idea, the included subjects will be asked for their consent, and to provide a contact phone num- ber and a preferred time of day for posterior contact. Regarding the bibliographic impact of this study and after thoroughly reviewing the available bibliography, we did not find any studies similar to the project that we propose. Therefore, we believe that the originality of the questions that we raise (taken from a primary health care approach) provided added value. Note * “LESIONAT": Niveles de Riesgo de sufrir una LESION por Accidente de Trafico en atención primaria” Acknowledgements The project received a financial aid from the Catalan Family and Community Medical Society, from the IX Aid Payments from 2008. This project is a prize-winner of one of the XB aid payments for a research project in the Catalan health service in the Barcelona city area, which funded up to 120 working hours for the collaborating researchers. The LESIONAT team would also like to thank the Research Support Unit in Barcelona and the IDIAP Jordi Gol I Gurina for their methodological and coordination support. We would also like to thank the Education and research in family practice chair Cathedra of University Autonoma of Barcelona for their support in administrative tasks carried out by Mrs Carme Llenas, and the Research Group Cardiocat (Preventive Services and Health Promotion Research Network/redIAPP) for their methodological support and fieldwork. We would also like to thank the General Traffic Department of Barcelona (DGT-Barcelona) for providing us with the information we needed on the drivers’ census used for the sample size calculation.
