Purpose

Injury Special Emphasis Reports will be developed and used by state health department injury and violence prevention programs and their partners to move injury data into action. They are intended to focus on subsets of a state’s injury data in order to highlight the prevention needs related to specific causes or population subgroups. The reports provide detailed information for the focus area. The unified content and design of the reports result in the recognition and use of injury data.

Purpose

• Standardization of data

• Unified appearance

• Early glimpse at state trends

• Capacity building for injury surveillance

• New staff/staff turn over

• Document for partners- way to work with key players/partners in your state/city

Methods

• Review of existing reports/fact sheets

• Writing team discussions

• Stakeholder mtg in Atlanta in April

• Writing team development

• Feedback loops (CSTE/SQI)
