Goal 2: Assess the quality and availability of existing data sources and opportunities for linkages or shared data products.
- Inventory existing injury/violence-related data products and create a resource list for stakeholders.
- Assess Ohio Injury Prevention Partnership (OIPP) needs surrounding violence and injury prevention priority areas (i.e., prescription drug poisoning/overdose, falls among older adults, child injury including motor vehicle traffic, asphyxiation, falls and violence) and the availability of related state and local data sources.
- Increase the quality and availability of statewide and county-specific injury-related data for planning, surveillance and evaluation.
