In the first half of life, more Americans die from violence and injuries—such as motor vehicle crashes, falls, or homicides—than from any other cause including cancer, HIV, or diabetes. Violence and injuries occur at work as well as other settings, and exert a tremendous public health burden across the lifespan.
Please join us on April 18, 2013 at 12:30 p.m. EDT for a Healthy People 2020 Progress Review Webinar featuring the Injury and Violence Prevention and Occupational Safety and Health Topic Areas. This Webinar series focuses on tracking and measuring the progress of Healthy People 2020 objectives.
This Webinar will feature:
- Dr. Howard Koh, Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
- Dr. Ed Sondik, Director, National Center for Health Statistics
- Dr. Linda Degutis, Director, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- Dawn Castillo, Director, Division of Safety Research, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
