As the United Nations specialized agency for health, the World Health organization aims to integrate road safety into public health programmes around the world in order to reduce the unacceptably high levels of road traffic injuries. A public health approach is used, combining epidemiology, prevention and advocacy. Special emphasis is given to low- and middle-income countries where most road traffic crashes occur. In recent years WHO has focused its efforts on the implementation of the recommendations contained in the World report of road traffic injury prevention, which it co-produced with the World Bank, and in particular on addressing the main risk factors for road traffic injuries. Following a United Nation's General Assembly resolution on road safety, adopted in 2004, WHO acts as a coordinator for road safety initiatives within the United Nations system, and to this end has facilitated the development of the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration a group of over international road safety organizations, including many United Nations agencies. This coordinating role was further endorsed by a fourth UN General Assembly resolution, adopted in 2005. A Partner organizations in the development of the Helmets: A Road Safety Manual
