Welcome to Injury Prevention!

CORE VALUES:

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

The ANTHC Injury Prevention program is committed to reducing the burden of injury within Alaska Native families and communities. Partnerships are critical for this process. Services available to tribal health partners include:

• Education and training
• Data collection, analysis and interpretation
• Assistance in identifying resources
• Advocacy

Our website aims to be user-friendly and function as a resource for both Tribal Injury Prevention staff and the general public. ANTHC Injury Prevention Program Efforts are framed both on core values and the public health model (i.e. education, environment, enforcement and evaluation).

Activities

• Annual Tribal Injury Prevention Director's Meeting
• Networking with Partners (e.g.. quarterly teleconferences)
• Technical Assistance (e.g.. Tribal Injury Prevention Cooperative Agreement Program, TIPCAP, grantees)
