The report is a publication of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Effective solutions to the child pedestrian safety problem must be multifaceted and arise from a collaboration among experts from diverse fields. This need inspired the creation of the Panel to Prevent Pedestrian Injuries, an interdisciplinary conference held in September 1998 to focus on reducing childhood pedestrian injuries in the United States. Three organizations came together to spearhead the effort and support the conference-the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, working to protect the nation's health; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, addressing road safety; and the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, advocating for the safety of our children. State-of-the-art position papers were commissioned on key topics in pediatric pedestrian injuries, including epidemiology, education, engineering, sociology, psychology, and research. These papers were the basis of discussion at the conference and are included in a separate document of conference proceedings. Nearly 100 individuals representing more than 25 professions participated in this invitational, interdisciplinary conference held in Atlanta, Georgia. Conferees from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia identified key barriers to reducing pedestrian injuries and discussed critical next steps needed to be effective. The suggestions from that meeting are provided as strategies here.
