It’s the leading cause of death for all people ages 1-44.
If you’d like to learn more, join us this Fall for ‘Injury and Violence: A Public Health Approach.’ From car crashes, falls and poisonings, to homicide, suicide, domestic violence and youth violence, we’ll cover the gamut in this multidisciplinary and comprehensive course. Geared to graduate students in public health, social work, nursing and psychology, we will help you gain new skills in the science of injury prevention and research. Upon completion, students will be prepared to participate in injury research, and facilitate injury prevention programs in the academic and public sectors.
