Injuries are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents 1-21 years of age. The CDPH, MCAH Program works to incorporate injury prevention interventions into local programs and services to enhance the safety of California’s children. Funding is provided by Federal Title V MCH Block Grant Funds.

Local Health Jurisdictions are encouraged to enroll to receive SafetyLit newsletters for recent research about injury prevention.
