Goal-Injury Prevention Program Development Facilitate progress and innovation in the development of injury prevention initiatives. Key Strategies 1. Designate children's injury, older people's falls, and sport and recreation injuries as priorities for action in the three year period beginning August 1994. Develop a seeding grant program to encourage initiatives in the three priority areas. Disseminate good community-based injury prevention practice through the municipal council network based on programs.
Injury prevention is well developed in some areas and less advanced in others.
A strategy to take injury prevention forward must be comprehensive in scope, but must also must give particular attention to those areas that have received less attention in the past. Three areas of injury have been identified as priorities for program development. Resourcing of these programs must also be addressed. Injury program development also requires dissemination of ideas on best practice. Safe living community-based programs can be used as examples from which other municipalities can draw.
