Injury Free Coalition for Kids

Date: Sun, Jun 2, 2002 to Fri, Jun 7, 2002

Location: Baltimore
Organizer/Sponsor: The Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy part of The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

This one-week intensive course is for professionals new to the field of injury prevention and those who seek to broaden or advance their basic skills and knowledge. Many of the nation's leading experts in injury control from Johns Hopkins and from other institutions conduct the lectures and discussions. Small group exercises are held daily which enable participants to apply what they've learned in lecture and integrate this with previous experience. The week culminates with student presentations of their small group projects. Throughout the week participants explore the causes and conditions of injury and develop their skills in:

- using data to identify an injury problem - designing and implementing policy and programs - evaluating injury prevention interventions - advocating for injury prevention - identifying resources at state and federal levels
