CDC PUBLIC HEALTH GRAND ROUNDS, THE SCIENCE BASE FOR PREVENTION OF INJURY AND VIOLENCE

Saturday, 14th of January 2012

Our first 2012 webcast of CDC's Public Health Grand Rounds, entitled The Science Base for Prevention of Injury and Violence will be streamed 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. Presented By: Linda C. Degutis, DrPH, MSN Director, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, CDC “Injury and Violence Prevention: The Role of Public Health in Building the Science Base and Translating Science to Practice” Melvin Kohn, M.D., M.P.H Director and State Health Officer, Oregon Public Health Division “Using Surveillance to Drive Interventions: Suicide Prevention in Oregon” David A. Sleet, B.A., M.A., Ph.D., Associate Director for Science, Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, CDC “Using Evidence to Inform Policy: The Case of 0.08 BAC Laws in the United States” Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, FNAPA, FACEP (E), Hon FRSPH Executive Director, American Public Health Association “The Next 20 Years: Challenges and Opportunities for Injury and Violence Prevention” Facilitated by: Tanja Popovic, M.D., Ph.D., Scientific Director, Public Health Grand Rounds Shane Joiner, Communication Manager, Public Health Grand Rounds Regarding live and archived webcasts of Public Health Grand Rounds: For non-CDC staff or staff outside of the CDC firewall, a live webcast of each session will be made available at: www.cdc.gov/about/grand-rounds.

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.
