Safety
in Numbers: Working Together from Research into Practice
 April 28-29,
2003
Hyatt Regency Atlanta Hotel
Injuries are the
number-one killer of children and young adults in the United States.
They are the leading cause of years of potential life lost before age
65. More than 5 million people in the U.S. report suffering from
chronic, injury-related disabilities, and the lives of millions of
others have been dramatically affected by injuries to themselves or
someone they love.
These statistics are staggering, but they're no mystery to you because
everyday you work to reduce injuries and their resulting deaths and
disabilities.
On April 28-29, 2003, join the hundreds of scientific researchers;
program
practitioners; public health, education, and safety professionals;
policy makers; advocacy groups; community leaders; stakeholders; and
representatives of underserved populations gathering in Atlanta for
this one purpose. Spend two days with your colleagues following one of
four tracks modeled on the public health model:
- Surveillance
- Risk Factors
- Program
Development
- Implementation
and Dissemination.
Conference Objectives
- Learn about
effective practices to prevent and control injury and reduce
disability;
- Discover the
latest advances in injury research;
- Enhance
programmatic and research skills, abilities, and effectiveness;
- Develop and
strengthen partnerships to reduce injury, disability and the
adverse outcomes associated with disability; and
- Exchange ideas
and explore opportunities to collaborate.
