Lessons Learned about Core State Injury and Surveillance Programs
Over a five-year period (2000–2005), CDC’s National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), funded 28 state health
departments to develop, implement, and evaluate core injury prevention and
surveillance programs. At the conclusion of the five year period, states
were asked to share with CDC and other states, lessons learned during
the implementation of these programs. The lessons learned were
submitted to CDC in the state’s “Final Progress Report.” NCIPC’s Division of
Injury Response aggregated and synthesized the lessons learned, which
are presented in this brochure. They provide useful tips to help state
health departments and their partners in planning and conducting injury
prevention activities.
The lessons learned in this brochure are sorted into eight categories: Collect, Analyze, and Report Injury Data; Implementation and Evaluation; Organizational Strength; Staffing; Funding; Establishing Partnerships, Advisory Groups, and an Injury Strategic Plan; Providing Technical Support and Training; and Affect of Advocacy, Education, and Program Visibility on Public Policy.
