Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) kill an estimated 1.24 million and injure another 20-50 million people each year, globally
We conducted this study to estimate the cost of RTCs recorded at police stations in the Kurunegala Police Division (KPD) in Sri Lanka

Summary
Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) kill an estimated 1.24 million and injure another 20-50 million people each year, globally. Published data on the cost of RTCs is scares for Sri Lanka. We conducted this study to estimate the cost of RTCs recorded at police stations in the Kurunegala Police Division (KPD) in Sri Lanka. The Master of Science in Global Health (MSGH) at Northwestern University’s School of Professional Studies is a new interprofessional competency-based degree program focusing on preparing students for a career in global health. Building on data presented at the 2016 CUGH annual meeting, the purpose of our current research is to further understand the market characteristics for this degree, provide additional student backgrounds to inform continuous improvements to the MSGH coursework and program design, and to describe the desired student characteristics for admission into graduate degree programs in global health
