Drowning Research
The Drowning Research stream focused on high quality and innovative drowning research from across a range of disciplines and subjects. Research also covered other water related issues.The stream was divided into the following areas to provide further guidance to participants, speakers and conference partners: the global burden of drowning, definitions and drowning data collection, epidemiology, and prevention research.
The stream gave an indication of the range of research being undertaken and reveals the gaps in knowledge that makes this area of public health a dynamic area for research.
