Injury is the leading cause of death and disability among Canadians and kills more children and young people than all other causes combined. The cost of injury is tremendous, estimated at some $19.6 billion annually in Canada. Injury prevention offers one of the most promising ways of reducing deaths, hospitalizations and related health care costs.
Injury often takes a back seat to less serious health concerns, because people believe that injuries are "accidents" or "fate," – an inevitable part of life –
and can neither be predicted nor prevented. Most injuries, however, have distinct patterns and are, therefore, predictable and preventable. Where good prevention efforts have been introduced, there have been significant reductions in disability and loss of life, such as with mandatory seat belt and child passenger restraint laws.
BC Injury Research and Prevention Unit (BCIRPU) conducts a comprehensive program of injury surveillance and research that contributes to improved understanding and prevention of injury. BCIRPU is a leader in the development of evidence-based prevention strategies, and has a solid reputation among the provincial, national and international injury prevention communities.

SURVEILLANCE
Project example: Making BC Injury Data available and accessible online
Until recently, injury data was the purview of select injury epidemiologists and analysts. Injury prevention and public health practitioners had little direct data in order to understand the causes of injury death, hospitalization and emergency room visits. Further, many of the important questions related to the circumstances of injury - What was the person doing when the injury happened? What went wrong? Where did it happen? What are the social circumstances in which the person lives? - were unknown. The Injury Data On-Line Tool (iDOT) is an interactive resource allowing users to ask specific questions of injury data though a series of selectable menus, and to produce customized tables, charts and maps to display trends, patterns and detailed injury information.
EDUCATION & KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
Example: The Development of a Web Portal and Injury Indicator Dashboard to Translate Knowledge to Injury Prevention Policy and Practice
A dashboard is defined as a graphical user interface that organizes and presents information in a format that is easy to read and interpret. In its simplest form, the child and youth injury indicator dashboard is a visual representation designed to provide salient information and to assess different aspects of the performance of the child and youth injury prevention system in Canada, allowing practitioners, policy makers and researchers to make timely decisions with regard to child and youth injury prevention improvements, and to assess and monitor those decisions over time. The dashboard will be developed as part of a child and youth injury web portal providing links to child and youth injury prevention evidence and tools.
Example: Social Marketing to Prevent Injury
A strategic alliance with The Community Against Preventable Injuries has been developed to develop and implement social marketing campaigns to prevent serious injury in BC. This project’s initial objectives are to: 1) establish an overall injury prevention "brand" in BC; 2) engage multiple partners with emphasis on private sector leadership; 3) establish a critical mass necessary to transform societal attitudes and behaviors; and, 4) strategic implementation of campaigns to align with other injury prevention initiatives in BC.
RESEARCH
Example: Developing Injury Indicators for Canadian Children and Youth, and First Nations & Inuit Children and Youth
A multidisciplinary, cross-pillar research team has identified 34 national injury indicators for children and youth. Current research is focused on demonstrating the utility of a sub-set of policy indicators. Future grant applications will allow for the validation and uptake of the remaining indicators, as well as the development of a web-based portal and indicators dashboard. Two important extensions of this project has been: 1) the development of 27 injury indicators for First Nations and Inuit children and youth, and 2) the start of the development of a deprivation index in order to examine the relationship between injury and the social circumstances in which children and youth live.
Example: Safe Play Spaces - Risky Play and Healthy Child Development
The design of safe playgrounds and play spaces is an important consideration that must be balanced with healthy child development that includes exposure to and management of risk by the child. Some authors have gone so far as to characterize today’s play spaces as so safe that they lead to a ‘risk deficit disorder’ and that it is time to reintroduce risk exposure as a necessary element of child play. For many injury prevention professionals, whose effort is to prevent all injuries, this is challenging and creates considerable concern. The question at hand is whether play spaces can be designed to include ‘healthy risk exposure’ while ensuring the prevention of serious injuries. Can we design play spaces to be as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible?

The new Canadian Child Safety website displays injury rates by type and province in the style of a report card. Visitors can see where evidence-based prevention policies have succeeded, and where more work needs to be done.
Each year, the University of British Columbia faculty of medicine recognizes faculty and staff members for excellence in teaching, research, administration, innovation and public service.
Congratulations to the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute investigators and staff members who are recognized in the 2022 UBC Faculty of Medicine Awards:
Congratulations to the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) investigators and their teams who were awarded funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Operating Grant: Understanding and mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on children, youth and families in Canada.
We believe there’s nothing we can’t do with your support. It can take years to turn scientific breakthrough into new interventions and treatments. Funding helps speed the pace of change. When given the resources, we can bring transformative therapies – and hope – out of the laboratory and into the clinic to save and improve children’s lives.
