CDC's Grand Rounds Webcast Kicks Off the New Year with Injury and Violence Prevention on Tuesday, Jan. 17 (1 p.m. EST)

We are pleased to present our first 2012 webcast of CDC's Public Health Grand Rounds, entitled The Science Base for Prevention of Injury and Violence, which will be streamed live from CDC headquarters on Tuesday, January 17 at 1 p.m. (EST) at www.cdc.gov/about/grand-rounds, with an archived video being made available by January 21. This session will be available for Continuing Education (*CE/CME).

Worldwide, 5.8 million people die each year from injuries. More than 180,000 fatal injuries occur in the U.S. alone. Motor vehicle crashes, falls, homicides, suicides, domestic violence, child maltreatment, and prescription drug overdoses are just some of the tragedies we hear about every day that affect us all, regardless of sex, race, or economic status. Beyond the toll these tragedies take on the lives and health of people, there is also a significant economic and societal burden – every year more than $400 billion is spent on medical expenses and lost productivity due to injuries. While many people accept these events as "part of life," most events resulting in injury, death or disability are predictable and therefore preventable.

As we commemorate the 20th Anniversary of CDC’s Injury Center, this session of Public Health Grand Rounds will explore the role of public health in the prevention of injury and violence, and provide a comprehensive picture of the science of injury and violence that has been used to develop and implement solutions such as suicide prevention programs in Oregon and the adoption of the .08 blood alcohol limit for U.S. drivers.

Target Audience: Physicians, nurses, epidemiologists, pharmacists, veterinarians, certified health education specialists, laboratorians, others
Objectives:  
1.    List key measures of burden of disease involving morbidity, mortality, and/or cost.
2.    Describe evidence-based preventive interventions and the status of their implementations.
3.    Identify one key prevention science research gap.
4.    Name one key indicator by which progress and meeting prevention goals is measured.
CE certificates can be printed from your computer immediately upon completion of your online evaluation. A cumulative transcript of all CDC/ATSDR CE’s obtained through the TCE Online System will be maintained for each user. We hope that this will assist CDC staff to fulfill the requirements for their professional licenses and certificates.

Worldwide, 5.8 million people die each year from injuries. More than 180,000 fatal injuries occur in the U.S. alone. Motor vehicle crashes, falls, homicides, suicides, domestic violence, child maltreatment, and prescription drug overdoses are just some of the tragedies we hear about every day that affect us all, regardless of sex, race, or economic status. In fact, injury is the leading cause of death for people in the U.S. between the ages of 1 – 44. Beyond the toll these tragedies take on the lives and health of people, there is also a significant economic and societal burden – every year more than $400 billion is spent on medical expenses and lost productivity due to injuries. While many people accept these events as "part of life," most events resulting in injury, death or disability are predictable and therefore preventable.
This session of Public Health Grand Rounds will explore the role of public health in the prevention of injury and violence, and provide a comprehensive picture of the science of injury and violence that has been used to develop and implement solutions such as suicide prevention programs in Oregon and the adoption of the .08 blood alcohol limit for U.S. drivers. The session will also look at future public health challenges and opportunities in reducing the number of preventable tragedies caused by injury and violence.
