摘要：As of this current issue, Chronic Diseases in Canada (CDIC) has been renamed Chronic Diseases and Injuries in Canada (CDIC). Reporting on injuries (accidents, occupational injuries and intentional injuries, including suicide) has always been part of the journal’s implicit mandate, if not its name. As the guest editor, Dr. A. J. Clayton, wrote in the inaugural issue, “We propose to include material based on research, surveillance and control aspects of non-communicable diseases or conditions such as cancer, heart disease and accidents.” Since 1993, the mission statement on the inside cover of the journal has included mention of injuries as part of the journal’s focus.
