4.2 Methods used<br />
The methodological approach used to compile the<br />
<strong>bfu</strong>’s safety dossier «Home and Leisure» is oriented<br />
towards the <strong>bfu</strong>’s prevention cycle, which consists<br />
of five successive components (accident research,<br />
prevention goals, preventive programmes,<br />
implementation of measures, success control<br />
(Figure 2). This report focuses on the initial component<br />
– accident research.<br />
Accident research in the sense of a comprehensive,<br />
scientific situational analysis can be regarded as<br />
a basic requirement for an evidence-based approach.<br />
It shows not only what action is required, but<br />
also which prevention approaches are promising.<br />
The situational analysis specifically includes a) an<br />
accident analysis, which includes the evaluation of<br />
epidemiological data, b) a risk analysis, which reveals<br />
the central causes, and c) an intervention<br />
analysis, which describes the potential options for<br />
intervention or prevention. These three analytical<br />
steps aim to ensure that the conclusions and recommendations<br />
formulated have a scientifically<br />
so<strong>und</strong> basis.<br />
The statistics of the collection point for the statistics<br />
of the UVG accident insurance (SSUV) and<br />
the cause of death statistics (ECOD) of the Federal<br />
Statistical Office (FSO) were used as the basic data<br />
for accident analysis. In order to encompass the full<br />
extent of non-occupational accidents in Switzerland,<br />
the <strong>bfu</strong> also carries out annual projections.<br />
The literature analysis conducted as part of the<br />
report took a structured approach. Various literature<br />
databases (e.g. PubMed, SafetyLit) were used.<br />
Searching through the literature databases was<br />
limited to English and German products and focused<br />
on the period from 1990 to 2010. Editorials as<br />
they are called were not subject to this search criterion.<br />

<strong>bfu</strong>’s prevention cycle<br />
Two approaches for the assessment of the risk<br />
factors and prevention possibilities had to be selected<br />
due to the different knowledge and information<br />
bases. An assessment of the risk factors and<br />
prevention opportunities could only be carried out<br />
for the «falls» accident segment and here for the<br />
risk groups children and adolescents as well as<br />
senior citizens. No evaluation was made in the<br />
actual meaning, but an estimate for the other six<br />
accident segments (Figure 1) and for falls sustained<br />
by adults.<br />
