Community Injury Prevention
The Kentucky Surveillance Quality Improvement (SQI) Program, along with similar programs in Colorado, Massachusetts, and Maryland, is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to improve our methodology for conducting injury surveillance.
The Kentucky Violence and Injury Prevention Program (KVIPP) supports the implementation and evaluation of multiple injury prevention programs focusing on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), traumatic brain injury, older adult falls, transportation safety, and military-connected youth.
KSAC is a member of the national Falls Free™ Coalition sponsored by the National Council on Aging and serves as a link to national and state resources available to the local and state agencies and coalitions.
The Pediatric and Adolescent Injury Prevention Program (PAIPP) has two main goals: (1) prevent injury and injury-related death to Kentucky children by improving the safety of the environments in which they live, play, learn, and travel and (2) improve the quality of data on Kentucky children’s deaths and injuries through support for the child death review process at the local county level.
