Injury is NOT Equal
No one enjoys being injured, especially when it could be prevented! No, not the bump on the knee or the scratch on the elbow. Preventable traumatic injury impacts communities and individuals differently and is influenced by systemic racism, sexism and the social determinants of health. Join hosts from Sunnybrook's Centre for Injury Prevention, along with community experts, doctors, healthcare professionals, and follow stories from individuals living with injury. Injury is not equal is a podcast that’s digging deep to understand the “why”, highlighting the diverse journey of injury, and identifying ways to prevent it.
