Call for collaborations: case–control studies on injury interventions and risk factors in LMICs

This commentary highlights the potential of case–control studies to strengthen the evidence base for injury prevention in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We argue that these designs are especially valuable in information-poor settings and across the full spectrum of injury topics—both unintentional and intentional. Our aim is to foster LMIC-led collaborations that build research capacity, support rigorous local studies and generate evidence that can inform policy and practice. We invite interested researchers to join this initiative.
