{\it Objective:} To evaluate the effect of a community-based injury prevention program on work-related injuries. {\it Study design:} A population-based quasi-experimental design was used with pre- and post-implementation measurements in an intervention and a control area. The program was based on cross-sectoral participation in detecting and taking action against work-related injuries. Change in the relative risk of injury was estimated by the odds ratio. {\it Results:} The relative risk of work-related injury decreased following program exposure, whereas a tendence toward increase was observed in the control area. Middle-aged men accounted for the largest decrease in injury risk. Among the women, a decrease was observed only in the upper middle-aged group. No female-dominated occupational area showed a decrease in injury risk following exposure to the program. {\it Conclusion:} The study showed that the community-based approach had a general effect on the incidence of work-related injuries. |
