This powerful video, produced by our parent organization, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, focuses on our Center’s work on the Navajo Nation, which has been particularly hard hit by COVID. We are also supporting the COVID response efforts in other tribal communities across the Southwest and country.

The purpose of this Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement is to address the disparity in injury rates by encouraging Tribes to implement focused, community-based injury prevention programs and projects using evidence-based strategies. Injury prevention evidence-based strategies are prevention methods that have been scientifically evaluated and proven to prevent injuries, including strategic changes to the environment (for example, roadways, elder homes for fall hazards, smoke alarms) and strategies to promote behavior change (such as car seat use, float coat use). Injury prevention programs and projects are most effective when based on these model practices. The use of well-planned, promising, and innovative injury prevention strategies is also recommended.
