Safe Communities Injury Profiles (1996-1999)
Safe Communities is a community-based injury prevention model
promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and supported by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). There are several
of these groups at work in the Commonwealth, striving to bring together
local law enforcement, emergency medical services, hospitals, and other
resources to identify problem areas and to develop and implement solutions.
An important part of any such effort is gathering data that accurately
describe the injury issues placing the greatest burden on the community's
health. Providing that information to Kentucky’s Safe Communities coalitions
was the primary purpose of this project. Injury data profiles were created
for the Barren River, Purchase, Gateway, and Buffalo Trace Area Development
Districts. Click one of the links below to view and/or print a copy of
