Injury Prevention Program

Welcome to the Injury Prevention Program at Boston Children's Hospital

Who we are

It’s a sad fact that injury is the number one cause of death and disability among children in the United States.

Fortunately, most childhood injuries are preventable. At Boston Children's Hospital, our Trauma Center's Injury Prevention Program is dedicated to dramatically decreasing the number of preventable injuries through research and public education.

We work in the local community, educating clinicians and families and distributing safety materials. Children's administers and supports many community initiatives designed to prevent childhood injury. We’re also conducting research to better understand how to prevent injury.
