The Emory Center for Injury Control, jointly supported by our department and Emory's School of Public Health, is one of only 4 programs in the US designated as "Collaborating Centers" for injury control and emergency health services by the World Health Association. In recent years, the staff of this center have:

1. Evaluated a DOJ-funded initiative to reduce gun violence in Atlanta.
2. Conducted federally funded research to screen and refer women victims of intimate partner violence.
3. Conducted a landmark study that identified risk factors for deaths of children in the custody of Child Protective Services.
4. Evaluated the impact of a state law intended to reduce fatal crashes by teen drivers.
5. Repeatedly blocked efforts to repeal Georgia's "all rider" motorcycle helmet law.
