Welcome to Prevent Child Injury

Connecting you to free, evidence-based child safety materials and resources

For decades, scientific evidence has shown that child injuries are predictable, preventable events. Despite this evidence, many parents and policymakers do not view child injury as something that can be avoided. Information that could save children’s lives is often ignored or under-publicized in the very crowded media climate and digital world.

Prevent Child Injury brings together a coalition of stakeholders to speak with one voice and share specific injury prevention messaging on a national level. When researchers, educators, public health professionals, and others speak with one voice, they can amplify their reach and effectiveness by giving the public the same messages from multiple sources at the same time.

Our toolkits focus on child injury topics including home safety, poison prevention, road safety, and emerging hazards like golf carts and water beads. Click on the link below to see the full list of topics.
