The mission of the Injury & Violence Prevention Section is to promote public health prevention approaches to reduce morbidity, mortality, and risk behaviors related to unintentional and intentional injuries.
The Section provides leadership, training, public education, funding support, and technical assistance for the development, implementation, and evaluation of community-based primary prevention programs and surveillance related to the leading causes of injuries. Section staff also serve on various state, regional, and national committees to provide consultation and facilitate cooperation among agencies to foster focused support for policies and programs designed to reduce the impact of injuries and violence in the state.
In addition, Section staff are responsible for developing research grant proposals, conducting data analyses, and writing scientific articles and reports based upon the research findings resulting from surveillance and community projects.
