CDC Injury Center at Risk – What’s Ahead?
Injury is the leading cause of death among people ages 1–44. Since 1993, the Injury Center at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has worked to prevent injury, overdose, suicide, and violence across the lifespan through science and action. Last year, Congress considered legislative proposals to eliminate funding for the Injury Center and similar proposals are likely to be revisited in the new Congress. This webinar will examine the Injury Center’s vital activities, explore potential threats to future capacity, and consider the role of health funders in supporting the Injury Center’s continued ability to track trends, conduct research, raise awareness, and implement prevention programs in partnership with states, localities, tribes, and nonprofit organizations. Speakers include Allison Arwady of the CDC Injury Center, Sharon Gilmartin of the Safe States Alliance, and Julie Morita of The Joyce Foundation.
