David W. Lawrence

For more than 20 years David Lawrence has been responsible for the World Health Organization-affiliated SafetyLit (safety literature) service. SafetyLit provides a free weekly update of the scholarly literature on all aspects of issues concerning unintentional injuries, interpersonal violence, and self-harm. This literature is drawn from more than 9000 current journals of 35 distinct professional disciplines (agriculture through Zoology). SafetyLit also provides a searchable database of published literature beginning in the mid-17th century concerning the safety of farmers, mariners, and miners to the current day issues.
