Injury and Violence: A Public Health Perspective (PDF: 155KB)
Injuries are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, especially for young people. The United States is at the forefront of an injury control movement that incorporates expertise from many disciplines in the social, medical, and physical sciences. Injury control experts assert that injuries are predictable and preventable, and this Population Bulletin explains why and how. Websites and other major sources of information on injury and violence are also included. (December 1998)
Asian Americans: Diverse and Growing
Immigration has increased the number and ethnic diversity of Asian Americans. Americans with ethnic origins in India, Vietnam, and Korea now outnumber Japanese Americans, for instance. This Population Bulletin illuminates the ethnic, social, and demographic forces behind this dramatic growth and diversity and explores the changing meaning of the phrase "Asian American." (June 1998)
Population Change, Resources, and the Environment
Unprecedented population growth has put increasing pressure on the natural environment and threatens the health of the Earth's basic ecosystem. This Population Bulletin examines the likely global impacts of population growth and distribution on food supply, energy consumption, emission of greenhouse gases, forests, oceans, and other environmental factors.
