Injury Prevention and Control Program

The mission of the Injury Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) is to reduce the rates of injuries at home, at school, in the community, on the road, and at play, and to improve emergency medical services for children. The program covers unintentional injury and suicide. We conduct research, develop policies and programs, and provide services to communities, groups, and individuals by offering training and health education; data collection, analysis, and reports; coalition and task force leadership; program development assistance; and public information materials.
