As a part of a national injury prevention research effort, IPRCE seeks to mitigate the staggering impact of injury in our community. Using a data-driven approach, the Center is addressing the most significant injury concerns in Georgia and the Southeast. As a result, IPRCE has developed five task forces for each target areas to which it will mobilize resources: 1.) Transportation Safety, 2.) Drug Safety, 3.) Violence, 4.) Falls, and 5.) TBI and Concussion. Through task force collaboration with the Marcus trauma center, Grady Health System, Georgia Department of Health, Emory University, regional academic institutions, statewide organizations, industry partners, philanthropists, and community stakeholders, the Center aims to make our community a better, safer place to live.
