Abstract
Despite the high burden of injuries, they have
largely been overlooked in global health research. One of the reasons for this is that in many developing countries there is limited
supply of trained human resources for addressing injury research.
Uganda is one such country where two critical gaps in addressing
the lifelong consequences of trauma, injuries and disability are
the lack of trained human resources and the lack of data.
Objectives Through innovative model of sustainable development, the Johns Hopkins University-Makerere University
Chronic Consequences of Trauma, Injuries and Disability in
Uganda (JHU-MU Chronic TRIAD) program aims to strengthen
research capacity on the long-term health and economic consequences of trauma, injuries and disability across the lifespan in
Uganda.
