CDC Injury Research
Agenda
The
CDC Injury Research Agenda was developed with extensive input
from its academic research centers, national nonprofit organizations,
and other federal agencies with a stake in injury prevention. This
blueprint to prevent injuries and their resulting disabilities,
deaths, and costs will guide research in seven key areas of injury
prevention and control:
- At
home and in the community;
- Sports,
recreation, and exercise;
- Transportation;
- Intimate
partner violence, sexual violence, and child maltreatment;
- Suicidal
behavior;
- Youth
violence; and
- Acute
care, disability, and rehabilitation—because progress in
controlling injuries is inextricably linked to the nation’s
ability to treat the injured and help them recover.
The
agenda identifies CDC’s highest priorities for each area—those
research issues that CDC must
address
to fulfill its public health responsibilities. By defining research
needs in a diverse field, CDC expects to maximize efficient and
effective use of resources and encourage collaboration among
researchers and practitioners. A
press release and fact sheets are available.
