Injury is the leading cause of death among people 1 – 44 years old in the state of New Hampshire.  Injuries can be both intentional an unintentional.  Many injuries can be prevented through a combination of strategies including behavioral, cultural, environmental and effective policy change enforcement.

The South Central Public Health Network is focusing its energy on three specific areas:

• Self-Harm
• Fall Prevention
• Driving Safety

The Network will develop strategies to increase awareness, knowledge and capacity to identify at risk individuals and intervene whenever possible.
