“…The component of the questionnaire regarding the level of implementation (percentage of target population coverage) of the intervention is an improvement of the previous Reference Framework methodology (28). It draws attention to the importance of equitable intervention coverage (proportionate universalism) (29) to address health inequalities and highlights interventions with low population coverage.…”

SUMMARYObjectives: The aim of this paper is to present the Child Safety Reference Frameworks (CSRF), a policy advice tool that places evidence-based child safety interventions, applicable at the sub-national level, into a framework resembling the Haddon Matrix.Method: The CSRF is based on work done in previous EU funded projects, which we have adapted to the field of child safety. The CSRF were populated following a literature review.Results: Four CSRF were developed for four domains of child safety: road, water and home safety, and intentional injury prevention. Conclusion:The CSRF can be used as a reference, assessment and comparative tool by child safety practitioners and policy makers working at the sub-national level.

“…In the second dimension (horizontal axis), of the simplest form of the matrix, are the three vertices of the epidemiological triangle the host (human), the agent (vehicle/vector) and the environment, with environment often divided into social and physical. The Haddon matrix fits well into the traditional public health approach of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention and has been used to explore a variety of aspects of the public health process for injury prevention including assessing risk factors (5,24), identifying preventive strategies and assisting the decision making process (13) and for public health readiness and planning (25,26). The traditional, nine cell, Haddon Matrix maybe less suited to child injury prevention due to the separation between environment, host and agent.…”

Aim: Risk factors for child injury are multi-faceted. Social, environmental and economic factors place responsibility for prevention upon many stakeholders across traditional sectors such as health, justice, environment and education. Multi-sectoral collaboration for injury prevention is thus essential. In addition, co-benefits due to injury prevention initiatives exist. However, multi-sectoral collaboration is often difficult to establish and maintain. We present an applied approach for practitioners and policy makers at the local level to use to explore and address the multi-sectoral nature of child injury. Methods: We combined elements of the Haddon Matrix and the Lens and Telescope model, to develop a new approach for practitioners and policy makers at the local level. Results: The approach offers the opportunity for diverse sectors at the local level to work together to identify their role in child injury prevention. Based on ecological injury prevention and life-course epidemiology it encourages multi-disciplinary team building from the outset. The process has three phases: first, visualising the multi-sectoral responsibilities for child injury prevention in the local area; second, demonstrating the need for multi-sectoral collaboration and helping plan prevention activities together; and third, visualising potential co-benefits to other sectors and age groups that may arise from child injury prevention initiatives. Conclusion: The approach and process encourages inter-sectoral collaboration for child injury prevention at the local level. It is a useful addition for child injury prevention at the local level, however testing the practicality of the approach in a real-world setting, and refinement of the process would improve it further.

“…For this reason, the reference framework (Table 1) developed in the Ben RHM II project was used to determine which further effective and feasible measures could be established (3). This framework is a summary of measures supported by literature and expert opinions and suited for a long-term strategy of measles eradication.…”

In 2005, WHO Europe reconfirmed the objective of eradicating measles and fixed a strategy plan for the years 2005 up to 2010. While a downward trend of measles infections in Germany between 2001 and 2004 could be observed, as many as 780 cases of measles were reported in 2005 and in 2006 even 2.281 cases. These high figures in 2006 were almost exclusively caused by an outbreak in the German region of North Rhine-Westphalia. This case study describes how a reference framework for good health management of measles prevention was applied for this region. As a result, various recommendations for action could be given, among them the recommendation to implement individual vaccination reminder systems for parents and bonus systems for parents. Based on these results, a comprehensive policy concept has been drawn up and has become the subject of a political agreement process in this region. Thus this case study shows a paradigm how reference frameworks for good health management can be utilised in practice.
