Outreach
preventing injuries together
Our work elevates the public health message that injuries and violence are not accidents: They are preventable.
We work with states and communities to ensure research is put into action to prevent injuries and violence. We provide technical assistance to disseminate and translate research findings. This leads to increased awareness across multiple stakeholders and influences action.
Our center has a rich history of promoting collaborations with a variety of partners to facilitate the mutual exchange of ideas, resources, and expertise and address regional and national needs for evidence-based policies and programs. Our activities raise the public’s awareness of the burden of injury in our communities, across our state, and throughout the nation.
Translation and dissemination of injury and violence prevention programs is critical. The average time between when an evidence-based program is shown to be effective and when it is put into practice is 17 years.
