William Haddon

William Haddon Jr. was an American physician and epidemiologist regarded as a pioneer in injury epidemiology, who invented the Haddon Matrix, a framework classifying injury prevention and control strategies by three factors, the person, the vehicle or agent, and the environment, across the phases before, during and after an injury event. In 1966 President Lyndon Johnson appointed him the first administrator of the National Traffic Safety Agency, where he set the first Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and from 1969 until his death he served as the first president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
