Injury Prevention and Kids You Can Make A Difference CONTROLING INJURY-SAVING LIVES This year, nearly 22 million children and adolescents from infant through age 19 will be injured. More than 20 million will require emergency department visits and another 780,000 will need hospitalization-19,000 will die. The national injury-related costs of medical care, decreased future earnings, and quality of life was $413 billion in 1991. The Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) program seeks to reduce injury and the accompanying costs to society by preventing injury and improving prehospital care, acute care, and rehabilitations. Injury control in prehospital and acute care settings is a major interest of the EMSC program, with federal funding through EMSC grants providing a variety of equipment and training programs, research projects, and treatment protocols that help control injury and save lives. On The Front Lines: What You Can Do As Professionals As EMS personnel, nurses, and emergency physicians-front line responders to most injuries-you are key participants in injury prevention campaigns. Because of your unique training and experience, you can serve as excellent advocates, program planners, and educators to help prevent injuries.

This model is based on the work of Dr. Marshall Swift in developmental disability prevention at Hahnemann College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Background Everyone wants our next generation to be safe and healthy. In California, committed child advocates created a unique way for individuals to show their support of children's causes and to provide consistent funding for health and safety efforts. The Kids' Plates program was established in 1992. This program sets aside funds for the prevention of childhood unintentional injury and child abuse, and to enhance the health and safety of children in child care. By the purchase of special motor vehicle license plates, California drivers can support these vital causes. Of the funds raised, 25% are earmarked for the prevention of child and adolescent unintentional injuries, including drowning, falls, poisoning, motor vehicle related injuries, and other unintentional injuries. Beginning in July 1998, these funds win be returned to communities across the state, in the form of mini and statewide grants, to strengthen local efforts in injury prevention. This document is provided to encourage creative and effective local projects. While every community will have its own ways of preventing injuries, projects in a community will be more successful when they fit together and support each other. The Spectrum of Prevention model is offered as a tool to help applicants in thinking about grant activities that will be successful. The examples which follow may give applicants new ideas of projects that work. They are also meant to show that that all activities, including Kids' Plates projects, will be more effective if they relate to and support other activities throughout the community.

Since prevention is the only cure, the Center for Injury Research and Control (CIRCL) and the department of neurological surgery have teamed up with the City of Pittsburgh School District to present a brain and spinal cord injury prevention program called "Think First For Kids" to first-, second- and third-grade school students. "About 10 to 15 percent of brain injuries in children are severe, and those who survive these injuries are often left with permanent neurological disabilities," said Donald Marion, M.D., CIRCL director and head of neurological trauma at UPMC. "Although less common than brain injury, there are about 12,000 new spinal cord injuries every year in this country with 10 percent occurring in children. One of the best ways to address prevention of these traumatic injuries is to provide early and timely educational and interventional services."

SGT TECH's Internet Safety and Prevention Program A bit of prevention is worth a gigabyte of cure.. As a parent, you wouldn’t think of leaving your children alone in a strange nei g hborhood, allowing them to stroll through an adult book store or let them wander aimlessly on a busy street or highway. Similarly, no responsible parent would permit their child to have secret meetings with strangers. In the "old days", sentry’s at the entrances to our towns provided a barrier to exclude those not suitable for access. We put door locks on our houses to prevent the criminal element from accessing our homes. Unfortunately we have a new threat, one that is silent, and not readily seen. This threat is the Internet. The internet provides unprecedented access to our children. It allows those who target children to bypass the gates and safeguards and in the blink of an eye enter our homes to interact with our kids, on the other side of their monitor. The Internet, with all its benefits, presents new dangers to local families in your community. To assist in Law Enforcement in spreading the word about this threat we have created the HTCI Kid Safety Initiative. What is the HTCI Kid Safety Initiative?
