n 1991, Dallas was facing a crisis. Injuries and trauma-related deaths had increased by 38% over previous years. Trauma-related injuries were growing at such a rate that by 1995, the number of trauma patients would eventually exceed the capacity of Dallas area hospitals to treat them.

Something had to be done – something bold, courageous, and BIG that would result in positive changes and outcomes.

In 1992, Dr. Ron J. Anderson, President and CEO of Parkland Health & Hospital System, convened more than 100 area health, government, and business leaders to examine the issue. The group developed a unique plan to address the problem. Instead of focusing on treating and managing injured patients, the plan outlined the need for a community-based organization focused solely on the prevention of injuries and associated deaths. In an unprecedented move, in

1994 the Injury Prevention Center of Greater Dallas (IPC) was established. Dr. Anderson housed the IPC at Parkland because many of the trauma patients were being treated at Parkland. However, in an extraordinary collaboration, four of the city’s other local hospitals (Baylor Health Care System, Methodist Health Systems, Texas Health Resources, and Children’s Medical Center of Dallas), as well as several private foundations and corporations, financially supported the IPC. The establishment of the IPC was also endorsed by numerous local organizations and agencies including

the Dallas County Commissioners, Parkland Board of Managers, City of Dallas, Dallas Medical Association, and Dallas/Fort Worth Hospital Council.

The staff of the IPC wishes to thank Dr. Anderson and the other visionary founders of the Injury Prevention Center, including Dr. Paul Boumbulian, Dr. Compton Broders, Dr. James Carrico, Jennifer Coleman, and Dr. Charles Sprague, who continue to inspire our work. We are forever in your debt.

Twenty years – a major milestone for any organization! When the organization is one that measures its results in injuries prevented and lives saved, it is a land-mark to be observed and celebrated with reflection, appreciation, and gratitude.

Although I’ve only been with the Injury Prevention Center of Greater Dallas (IPC) for the past 6 years, I’m in awe of the accomplishments of the Center and the past leaders and partners who trans-formed injury and violence prevention in Dallas County by establishing the IPC. Their efforts have saved lives.

From Director theSince the IPC was established, two of the areas where we have devoted consider-able effort and resources – residential fire and motor vehicle crash prevention – are showing positive results. Since 1994, death rates caused by motor vehicle crashes have decreased 39% in Dallas, while death rates caused by house fires have decreased by 48%. Through Operation Installation, a partnership with Dallas Fire-Rescue, we have reduced house fire deaths in project houses by a compelling 74%. Our child passenger safety efforts, such as Give Kids a Boost, over the years have yielded sustainable increases in car seat use in project areas.

If the next 20 years are anything like the past 20, there will be bold action resulting in more lives saved. The IPC remains committed to being good stewards of the resources we have by working with our partners to ensure that only evidence-informed and promising injury and violence prevention strategies are implemented and evaluated.

Thank you to the founders of the IPC and all of our partners in Dallas County, who have persevered through setbacks and disappointments. Your efforts have made Dallas safer. In the spirit of forward thinking, I will close by expressing my feelings on the past and future 20 years with a nod to social media.

he mission of the Injury Prevention Center of Greater Dallas is to create a safe community to live, work, learn, and play, where all of our citizens have the freedom to live to their full potential. The IPC continues its commitment to applying the best science to implement strategies that will lead to a safer and healthier Dallas.

Over the past 20 years, the IPC has directed and helped develop and evaluate several injury prevention initiatives throughout the Greater Dallas area, including programs aimed at reducing injuries due to motor vehicle crashes,

falls, residential fires, and violence. When evidence-based injury prevention strategies are implemented, the estimated economic return on investment is substantial.

WHO designates Dallas the first urban Safe Community in the world

In 1996, the IPC assisted Dallas in becoming the first World Health Organization (WHO) designated Safe Community in the United States and the first urban city worldwide to receive the designation. Dallas was re-designated in 2007 and 2011.

Partners in injury prevention

The IPC has an infrastructure that is based on partnership. As a result, the IPC facilitates several coalitions aimed at reducing injuries and associated deaths.

he prevention of residential fire- related deaths and injuries has been one of the priorities of the IPC since its inception. Operation Installation is a joint program with Dallas Fire-Rescue that involves using data to identify neighbor-hoods at high risk for residential fires, and then going door-to-door in those neighborhoods to install lithium- powered ionization-type smoke alarms in homes that are not adequately protected. The canvassing sessions are conducted on Saturday mornings with four teams of firefighters, Dallas Fire-Rescue fire prevention personnel, and volunteers from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Each team is accompanied by a fire engine or fire truck, going down each block of the neighborhood.

A thorough, proven approach to fire safety

Each canvassing session includes: 1) the installation of smoke alarms in homes that are not adequately protected; 2) testing of existing alarms;

3) providing educational information in English and Spanish (brochures about fires, including escape planning and prevention practices); and 4) complet-ing surveys that document the number of smoke alarms installed at that address, number of persons who live in the house, and the number who are children under 5 years or elderly over 65 years, whether there are smokers in the house, if burglar bars are present, etc. During the sessions, Dallas Fire-Rescue conducts home fire safety walkthroughs while educating residents about testing of smoke alarms and the importance of escape planning.

More than 34,000 smoke alarms have been installed in homes through Operation Installation since 1999. Evaluation of Operation Installation shows that fire deaths have been reduced by 74% in project houses.

he IPC has implemented and evaluated several projects aimed at increasing child passenger safety seat use, which have resulted in consistent increases in child passenger safety use.

IPC programs attract national interest and grants

In 1997, the IPC received a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) grant to implement child passenger safety activities in West Dallas. A preliminary survey of Hispanic preschool-aged children in west Dallas, conducted in 1997 showed that the per-centage using child restraints was much lower in this population (19%) than among preschool children of all races in the rest of the city (62%). Information obtained from focus groups of Hispanic parents in the community led to the development of a program tailored for that population. Activities were carried out at neighborhood parties and in a local community health center, local day care centers, churches, community centers, and botánicas (stores that sell traditional Hispanic remedies and often employ a folk healer). By 2000, restraint use among Hispanic preschool-aged children attending the clinic (72%) had surpassed use in a comparison population of preschool-aged children in the rest of Dallas (69%).

Following an IPC project, child passenger safety seat use increased from 32% to 56% in southeast Dallas.

Intervening with child seats and education

In 2002, the IPC was awarded a 3-year grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to implement and evaluate a child passenger safety project in southeast Dallas. The interventions in the project neighborhood included: information about the importance of children riding in child safety seats; information about the Texas Child

Restraint Law; ongoing classes at various locations and times where parents could receive instruction about how to use a child safety seat; and providing families with a car seat or booster seat if they needed one. Participants were even offered the choice of receiving a child safety seat that had been blessed by a priest or minister. Child passenger safety seat use increased from 32% to 56% in southeast Dallas following the IPC project.

Driving DownMotor Vehicle Injuries

The IPC is awarded a 3-year grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to implement and evaluate an occupant protection program for a diverse population in southeast Dallas. Child passenger safety seat use in southeast Dallas was 32%; it was 68% in Dallas overall.

“Increasing the use of child restraints in motor vehicles in a Hispanic neighborhood” is published in the American Journal of Public Health.

“Residential fire related deaths and injuries among children” is published in Injury Prevention.

“Deaths and Injuries from House Fires in Dallas” is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Operation Installation begins. Residential fire deaths in Dallas had averaged 20 deaths per million people throughout the 1990s.

Child passenger safety seat use in the West Dallas area increases to 72% following NHTSA grant activities. Child passenger safety seat use in Dallas overall was 69%.

Martha Stowe becomes the second IPC director.

Give Kids a Boost

In 2012, with funding from the Texas Department of Transportation, the IPC launched Give Kids a Boost at selected elementary schools. The goal of the project is to increase properly restrained booster seat use among children 4-7 years of age. Give Kids a Boost is currently in its third year. Each year, booster seat use has increased 15-20 percentage points at the project schools. In 2012, Michelle Rocha’s life was saved as a result of Give Kids a Boost.

ne hallmark of the IPC is the use of multiple, innovative approach-es to effectively improve public safety.

Students, cameras and pedestrian safety

Since 2011, students at Sam Tasby Middle School have learned that “a picture is worth a thousand words, ” through a PHOTOVOICE project conducted by the IPC.

In collaboration with Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation and the Eagle Scholars program, the PHOTOVOICE project teaches students how to tell a story through photographs and use those photographs to facilitate pedestrian safety improvements in their community.

Learning photography skills and life lessons

Working with Dallas area photographers, the students learn basic photography skills and take photographs during field trips around the Vickery Meadow area that depict potentially dangerous or hazardous conditions for pedestrians. The students’ photographs have portrayed broken sidewalks or no sidewalks at all, littered streets, and damaged pedestrian signals, among other concerns.

The project also includes a session on how to work with city officials to spark policy and social changes by engaging, informing, and organizing community

members to take action. The 5-6 week course culminates with a reception and photographic display for city officials, parents, and community stakeholders.

Making environmental and policy changes has proven effective in helping people change their behavior to be safer and healthier. The Vickery Meadow PHOTOVOICE project has led to several improvements in the area.

ometimes a local IPC study can have a worldwide impact.

The IPC found that three-fourths of children injured falling from apartment windows fell from low-lying windows with sills within a few inches from the floor. The findings were published in the journal Injury Prevention.

IPC programs improve industry standards

In 2005, local Dallas architect Jim Sealy used information from that study to get the international building code changed. Mr. Sealy worked with the IPC to enact changes to require that windowsills in apartments, houses, condos, etc. must be a minimum of 24 inches above the floor, or open less than 4 inches. The code change was effective in the following year’s edition of the International Building Code and International Residential Code.

here may be no more emotion- ally charged issue than that of family violence. However, solving the problem requires more than an emotional response.

Family violence is a complex and serious issue that affects all races, ethnicities, religions, cultures, and economic status. Family violence, which includes violence against an intimate partner and child abuse, can have long-term consequences. Children who experience childhood trauma, including witnessing incidents of domestic violence, are at a greater risk of having serious adult health problems including tobacco use, substance abuse, obesity, cancer, heart disease, depression, and a higher risk for unintended pregnancy.

IPC programs use data to identify issues and evaluate strategies

To prevent family violence, it is important to understand the dynamics and underlying causes of the violence. It is critical that we collect accurate and timely data so that effective

prevention programs can be designed, implemented, and evaluated. That is the purpose of the Dallas County Child Death Review Team and the Dallas County Intimate Partner Fatality Review Team.

The IPC partners to reduce family violence

In 2006, the IPC began facilitating the Dallas County Child Death Review Team (CDRT), which was the first local CDRT in Texas. The IPC has published multiple CDRT reports and has used the data to identify priorities and emerging issues. In 2011, the Dallas County CDRT published a report on child maltreatment deaths among children 0-17 years of age from 2006 to 2009. The report stated that Dallas County experienced a 62% increase in child maltreatment deaths during that time.

In 2011, the IPC partnered with Family Compass and Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation to implement a 3-year program to promote healthy, stable families in the Vickery Meadow area. The program, entitled Bringing Families Together, resulted in 77% of parents participating in the program

reporting increased protective factors against child abuse, 81% of parents reporting decreased use of harsh and evasive parenting, and 50% decreased risk of child abuse.

The IPC was instrumental in working with Genesis Women’s Shelter and other Dallas partners to establish the Dallas County Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Fatality Review Team in 2010. The purpose of the team is to systematically review adjudicated cases of IPV deaths occurring in Dallas County and collect data to reduce deaths and improve service delivery. The data from the review team identifies: 1) the causes and incidence of IPV fatalities; 2) oppor-tunities for prevention and intervention; 3) gaps among agencies responding to IPV and promotes cooperation, com-munication and coordination; and 4) opportunities and recommendations for training, coordination of services, and/or changes in policies.

Violence Is not a Family Value

Preventing family violence requires more than an emotional response. We must deal with the dynamics and underlying causes of the violence.

Dallas is recertified by WHO as an international Safe Community.

Residential fire death rates in Dallas for the 2000s decrease by 40% from the 1990s to an average of 12 deaths per million people.

Michelle Rocha’s life is saved as a result of Give Kids a Boost.

The IPC implements Give Kids a Boost at additional elementary schools, with similar increases (4% to 21%) in booster seat use at the project schools.

“An Outcome Evaluation of a Community-Based Smoke Alarm Installation Program” and other studies are published in Injury Prevention. Evaluation of Operation Installation shows that residential fire injury death rates are 74% lower in program homes.

Bringing Families Together results in 77% of parents participating reporting increased protective factors against child abuse, 81% of parents reporting decreased use of harsh and evasive parenting, and 50% decreased risk of child abuse.

The IPC celebrates 20 years of saving lives!

The IPC conducts the fourth PHOTOVOICE project that teaches junior and senior high students how to use photographs to facilitate pedestrian safety improvements in their community.

“People don’t live in silos. They live

out in the matrix of the community.

The cytoplasm of life is the community.

How do we get out there and leverage all

these things that we’re doing in our silos?

We have to do it through collaboration

and cooperation – not through competition.

If we sat down and strategically determined

what we could do to assist one another and

find synergies, then there would be huge

things that would be accomplished.“ Ron J. Anderson, M.D.

In an interview with Kim Garber on February 28, 2014 for the American Hospital Association
