Does anyone know anything about Prof Rod Jackson. akld traffic injury researcher ?

**Ixion** · 9th September 2005, 02:17

Professor of Epidemiology at Auckland Medical School. He claims a special interest in road traffic injury epidemiology; and has published a number of papers about motorcycle road accident and injury (Sort of a NZ Prof Hurt ?)

Wells S, Mullin B, Norton R, et al. Motorcycle rider conspicuity and crash-related injury: a case-control study. Br Med J 2004;328:857-63.

Mullin B, Jackson R, Langley J, Norton R. Increasing age and experience: are both protective against motorcycle injury? A case-control study. Injury Prevention 2000;6:32-5.

Langley J, Mullin B, Jackson R, Norton R. Motorcycle engine size and risk of moderate to fatal injury from a motorcycle crash. Accident Analysis and Prevention 2000;32:659-63.

And a lot of other traffic injury stuff not specific to bikes. I want to know if possible if he is actually a rider , and whether he is pro-bike or anti-bike. Can anyone access these publications ?

I'll deny all knowledge of this yaddayadda

In retrospec, these are probably non riders, but they give you the stats and methods of how they worked everything out, and given the nature of their work they are very likely to be non biased in everything but the conclusion and introduction.
