Safe Medication Storage Resources from Safe Kids Worldwide

Safe Kids Worldwide has released a new report and infographic about storing medication safely. Unintentional medicine poisoning is preventable, especially by parents and caregivers. While people know the importance of keeping medicine up and away and out of sight, not everyone is storing their medication safely. Every 12 days, a child under age six dies of unintentional medicine poisoning in the US.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

Injury Prevention published our peer-reviewed manuscript that captures learning and progress from cohort 1 of the CS CoIIN. Building the Child Safety Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network: How does it work and what is it achieving? is publicly available on the Injury Prevention website.
