Description:In 1985, the US National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recognized the need for a coordinated effort to prevent injuries in the United States[2]. They identified CDC as the federal agency best suited to lead injury research. CDC had a strong history of interdisciplinary research, data collection and analysis, information sharing, and relationships with states-elements the Research Council and IOM deemed important. And unlike other federal agencies involved in injury prevention, CDC had no regulatory or enforcement role. In 1997, the IOM Committee on Injury Prevention and Control recommended that no one agency could effectively serve as the sole leader for injury. Rather, agencies should collaborate in injury prevention and control activities, with each agency leading in its area of expertise. CDC’s Injury Center now functions as the focal point and lead agency within the US Department of Health and Human Services for preventing injuries.
The mission of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is to prevent injuries and violence and reduce their consequences.
