Injury is defined as “any unintentional or intentional damage to the body resulting from acute exposure to thermal, mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy or from the absence of such essentials as heat or oxygen” (National Committee for Injury Prevention & Control, 1989)
There are two broad classifications of injuries:
Unintentional - injuries resulting from events such as falls, motor vehicle crashes and drowning
Intentional - injuries resulting from violent events such as suicide, homicide, and adults such as sexual assault, intimate partner violence, child and elder abuse
