Hello,

I've had a request for program examples and contacts for injury prevention
programs with youth, especially those that have a focus on seatbelt
utilization and are peer-to-peer, and may have a school setting.

A literature search has been done, however the published literature often
neglects what is happening in the field by people who haven't been focused
on publishing.
Doing various internet searches has given me hints of what might be out
there - safe communities initiatives, the HEROES program, injury prevention
programs in health units (?with youth? in schools? - not specified on health
unit webpages!), PARTY program, and teen driver safety programs.

Hearing from you about programs that have been done in the past and those
that are underway, programs that worked and ones that did not (and why),
would be very valuable. This listserv has been a generous source of shared
experience and knowledge. I look forward to seeing your responses!

sincerely,

Alison
