CDC's National Center for Environmental Health and Injury
Control (NCEHIC) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health have sponsored the development of position papers on
motor-vehicle injury prevention, prevention of violence and
violence-related injury, home and leisure injury prevention,
occupational injury prevention, trauma-care systems, acute-care
treatment, and rehabilitation. The papers resulted from the Third
National Injury Control Conference.
The objectives of the position papers are to 1) define the
field of injury control, 2) assess the status of injury-control
research and programs, 3) help CDC, other federal agencies, and
nongovernmental organizations clearly define directions and
priorities in a coordinated way, 4) identify what interventions
should be evaluated and disseminated, 5) plan for the development
of injury-control capacity in state and local health departments
and other agencies, and 6) identify organizations and opportunities
to implement various research and programmatic recommendations.
Copies of the position papers are available from the Division
of Injury Control, NCEHIC, CDC, Mailstop F-36, 1600 Clifton Road,
NE, Atlanta, GA 30333.
