CDCs efforts to reduce nonoccupational injury in the United States are concentrated in the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (Injury Center). The Injury Centers science base and focus on public health are unique among federal agencies with activities in injury prevention and control, most of which have regulatory or enforcement roles. The Injury Center is dedicated to reducing the number and severity of unintentional injuries through science-based, applied research and prevention programs. The Injury Center targets injuries related to transportation and home and recreation activities. Priority areas in unintentional injury prevention include alcohol-impaired drivers; older drivers; child passenger safety; falls, especially among older adults; injuries caused by residential fires; and supervision of children. Additional areas of interest include teenage drivers, pedestrian safety, and sports and recreation injuries, including drowning prevention.
