Injury & Violence Prevention Center

The Injury & Violence Prevention Center, a collaborative initiative between the Colorado School of Public Health and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Anschutz Medical Campus, is at the forefront of addressing the critical issue of injury and violence. Injury remains a significant threat both in Colorado and across the United States. Our approach is deeply interdisciplinary, harnessing the power of collaboration across multiple fields. We proudly engage with partners in diverse settings, including hospitals, community organizations, and government offices, to tackle the multifaceted challenges of injury and violence prevention. Our commitment extends to the next generation of professionals. We actively involve students from all disciplines, offering a multitude of opportunities for research and practice-based learning. Through these initiatives, we empower students to contribute to real-world solutions and engage in meaningful, hands-on experiences. Our core mission revolves around research, training, and prevention. We are dedicated to driving scientific discovery and evidence-based practices that reduce injury and violence and improve overall injury outcomes. In collaboration with our partners and with the active involvement of students, we conduct cutting-edge research, transforming our findings into practical solutions through collaboration with our community partners. Our training programs equip the next generation of researchers and public health professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle the complex challenges of injury and violence prevention.
