IV - Relato de experiência quanto à prevenção de acidentes de trânsito: Um modelo usado pela Organização Panamericana de Saúde

Abstract

The report of a program related to the prevention of traffic accidents in Bogotá, Columbia, in 1983, is presented. The methodology applied showed that ostensive and preventive policing produced immediate results and its adoption was relatively simple: the number of accidents declined from 414 to 48 within on year of the launching of the Program.
