(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Leif Svanström was a Swedish doctor and a specialist in Social medicine. Beginning from 2010 Svanström was professor emeritus in Social Medicine at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm where he worked since 1980. He was former prefect for the department of Public Health Sciences at Karolinska Institute and the former leader of the scientist group of accident prevention and work in safety promotion. Professor Svanström devoted about forty-five years of his life to the Social Medicine and Health and Safety Promotion. His research and teaching focused on Injury Epidemiology and Safety Promotion. In the 1960s, he studied a number of descriptive and analytical works, and beginning from the 1970s he is engaged in home and occupational injuries. In 1974, he introduced "the community approach to safety promotion, encapsulated in the Falköping Model", which made a great influence at Swedish and international community safety work. Leif conducted policy development and is described as the founder of the Safe Community movement. He was the leader of International Safe Community Certifying Centre – a NGO for injury prevention and certifier of municipalities at a global level. Under his leadership of the Research Group on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, more than 30 doctorates have been awarded.
