Abstract
Genuine community engagement is critical to the success of hospital-based injury and violence prevention (HIVP) programs. Affecting sustainable community level reductions in injuries requires implementation of injury prevention strategies “with” a community rather than merely “in” a community. These partnerships are often strategically identified through a combination of institution-specific factors like trauma registry data, participation in local or regional injury prevention community coalitions, a hospital’s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) or population health priorities, existing partnerships developed through a hospital community relations department, and city or county-wide health and safety initiatives. The purpose of this chapter is to offer effective strategies for trauma centers and HIVP professionals to identify and prioritize communities or populations for injury prevention partnerships, develop sustainable and genuine partnership, and engage in the shared development, implementation, and evaluation of the injury prevention intervention.
