Haddon's Matrix is a commonly used paradigm in public health that identifies potential intervention strategies for preventing injury. It explores characteristics related to the individual host, the vector/agent causing injury, and the environment at three stages: before the injury, at the time of the injury, and after the injury. This process helps identify potential interventions for preventing injury.
