Named by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the five leading causes of death for rural populations in the United States, unintentional injuries can be fatal or nonfatal injuries that are unplanned and often preventable. (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/ss6810a1.htm)
This new resource from the Rural Health Information Hub (RHIhub) gives the how and why
injuries are so prevalent, and then provides a collection of effective program models with
resources for planning, funding, and sustainability in your community. > https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/toolkits/unintentional-injury
