Overview
Global strategies to prevent spinal cord injuries: Evidence, practice and future directions
Details
This workshop will bring together clinicians, researchers, public health practitioners, policymakers, and people with lived experience to reflect on current SCI prevention efforts and identify opportunities to strengthen them. Using systems thinking alongside behavioural and implementation science, the workshop will identify leverage points to support the development of evidence-informed strategies to reduce the incidence of SCI. We will also assess how collaboration between ISCoS committees and international partners can strengthen global SCI prevention initiatives.
