Guides

Short, sourced guides. Each one shows the evidence grade and links to the primary sources.

Buckle up: every seat, every trip

Front-seat belts cut fatal-injury risk roughly in half. Back seats count too.

Install smoke alarms; add CO alarms if you burn fuel indoors

Working alarms beat your nose while you sleep. Fuel burning indoors needs carbon monoxide detection too.

Measure your blood pressure; treat to target if it is high

High blood pressure is silent. Home readings beat 'I feel fine'.

Use a child car seat: never hold a child in your arms in a moving car

Arms fail in a hard stop. Properly used car seats save children's lives.

After 60: train balance and leg strength, and make the bathroom and stairs safer

Falls are a leading cause of injury death in older adults. Balance training reduces falls.
