Geospatial analysis of injury severity on major roads in Ghana (2017–2020): implications for targeted injury prevention and control initiatives
A few key road sections are critical to target for injury prevention. We conduct a collaborative geospatial study to demonstrate the importance of addressing data and research gaps in LMICs and call for similar future research on targeting injury control and prevention efforts.
