Kickoff - Decade of Action for Road Safety Washington, DC 2 Grover To m Frieden CDC Director David Strickland NHTSA Director 2010-2013
Motor Vehicle Injuries: A CDC Global Winnable Battle Winnable battles are public health priorities with large-scale impact on health and with known, effective strategies. Battle: Traffic injury burden is rising Winnable: We have effective solutions that work 3 Battle Winnable
Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 Where does CDC fit? Road safety management Safer roads and mobility Safer vehicles Safer road users Post crash response 4
CDC s approach to global road safety Evaluate road traffic injury surveillance systems Build capacity to analyze road traffic data Build integrated surveillance systems Use data to drive decision making Disseminate findings and best practices globally 5
Where does CDC work? Haiti China India Uganda Kenya Tanzania Thailand Cambodia Botswana = Country project 6
Partnerships CDC works with a variety of global partners 7
Thailand & Tanzania Partners: Ministries of Public Health Improve surveillance using multiple existing data sources o e.g., police, hospital, insurance, EMS Review existing road traffic policies 8
Kenya Partners: WHO, Kenya Ministry of Health Pilot mortuary-based fatal injury surveillance system o Based on WHO s Fatal injury surveillance in mortuaries and hospitals: a manual for practitioners 9
China Partners: China CDC (Ministry of Health) Burden and economic costs of road traffic crashes Electric-bicycle injury surveillance data (e-bikes) Child safety seat knowledge, attitudes, and use 10
Cambodia Evaluate Global Helmet Vaccine Initiative (GHVI) Partners: Asia Injury Prevention Foundation (AIP), Handicap International, Johns Hopkins Program goal: Put a helmet on every head CDC s role is evaluation Population helmet observations Pre/post intervention helmet observations Surveys of barriers and facilitators to helmet use 11
AIP s Helmets For Kids 100% 80% 88% 83% 80.8% 84% 92% 83% % helmet use 60% 40% 20% Motorcycle Bicycle 0% Pre (1-2 weeks) Post I (1-2 weeks) Post II (10-12 weeks) Post III (end of school year) n=9 schools Observations 12
India: Promote safety of heavy-goods vehicle drivers Partners: Institute of Road Traffic Education (IRTE), Conrad Hilton Foundation, CDC Foundation Collaboration between NIOSH/Injury/Environmental Health Provide guidance on content, implementation, and evaluation of post-license training Build capacity for fleet safety management among transport contractors through workshops 13
Global Strategic Goal: Reduce work-related motor vehicle crashes and resulting injuries globally through national and international collaborations on occupational motor vehicle safety research and guidance. Technical assistance and consultation for international initiatives and documents on work-related road safety International research and demonstration projects to prevent road traffic injury in worker populations, aligned with the plan for the Decade of Action Manuscript on data sources for work-related crashes globally Task force on Road Safety and Connected Mobility: 2014 Challenge Bibendum Engagement with multinational partners through NETS Journey management guidance for employers U.S. committee for ISO 39001 Keynote presentation at Occupational Safety in Transport conference 14
MINI-GRANTS Field Epidemiology Training Program (CDC supports FETP programs in 46 countries) Small grants ($5,000) to conduct traffic injury projects based on proposals Piloting injury surveillance systems Evaluating surveillance systems Analyzing surveillance and risk data 15
