The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health’s Injury Prevention Program Program Description The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health’s Injury Prevention Program focuses on the Departmental Health Status Priority addressing the “reduction of the factors associated with intentional, unintentional and occupational injury”. The Injury Prevention Program, following National recommendations for intentional and unintentional injury prevention, conducts community-based programs with contractors to address risk and resiliency factors associated with and implement strategies to decrease injury. The Injury Prevention Program promotes, through collaborative relationships, environmental and policy change initiatives to prevent injury morbidity and mortality. Most Injury Prevention Programs, while population-based, are focused on defined geographical areas or populations served by community-based agencies and local health departments. The Injury Prevention Program, in keeping with the national trend toward integrating the public health approach into prevention strategies, promoting interagency collaboration and utilizing successful model programs, will continue to work with interagency and interdisciplinary partners toward a broader population-based, wraparound approach for improving health and reducing death and disabilities due to injury.
