Community-Based Injury Prevention

Community-Based Injury Prevention involves local initiatives that engage community members, organizations, and leaders to reduce injuries and improve safety. It focuses on understanding specific risks within a community—such as falls, accidents, or violence—and developing tailored strategies like education, policy changes, and environmental improvements. By involving those directly affected, this approach ensures interventions are relevant and sustainable. The goal is to create safer environments, raise awareness, and empower communities to take proactive steps in reducing preventable injuries, ultimately enhancing overall well-being and quality of life.
