• Description:
  New Hampshire injury prevention advocates have been called to create a strategic plan to guide efforts over the next five years: 2020-2025. This has been a complex process in that partner input was highly sought and utilized to carry out a comprehensive examination of state and national data, bringing together multiple perspectives to identify NH's top injury and violence priorities. Utilizing both the Socio-Ecological Model of Health and the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Connecting the Dots shared risk and protective factors framework, the process highlighted the need for all disciplines to come together, overcome real and perceived silos, and look further upstream to affect the changes we are seeking to make New Hampshire a safer place to live, work and play. Through the year-long strategic planning effort, we have started a new journey to align strategies, programs and outcomes that will lead to improved health for New Hampshire. While the evidence describing linkages between risk and protective factors and injury is still emerging, the field of injury control is continuing to deepen its research base on "what works" by building upon guidance coming out of the more-developed violence prevention field. Focus areas discussed in this plan are driven by data and attempt to capture the rich and diverse partnerships that are necessary to improve prevention efforts both state wide and across the northeast region. Some of these partnerships are in their infancy and others well established. Some topics covered in this Plan, such as suicide and intimate partner violence, have their own state plans but are included here to call out their place in NH's broader injury prevention landscape, highlight shared risk and protective factors, and showcase proven strategies to affect change that may have overlap with other injury prevention priorities. Strategies presented in each topic area are either currently underway or supported by evidence to decrease injury and its most final consequence, death. Funding and other resources (e.g., data, personnel, leadership) to support these strategies may not be fully developed, coordinated or guaranteed New Hampshire's ever dynamic fiscal reality. Much of what happens within the field of injury control is done through a public health lens and public health has not traditionally been well funded in New Hampshire. In order to appreciate the role of injury in the lives of New Hampshire residents, this document will serve as a guide to help stakeholders look at the data and facts behind why we focus on these topics, where we aim to be in five years, and how we will know we are making progress.
