title: Injury prevention: North Carolina's challenge and capacity to respond.
abstract: North Carolina has worked to develop an infrastructure and identify priorities to reduce the high morbidity and mortality from injuries. Findings of the North Carolina Institute of Medicine (NCIOM) Task Force on Adolescent Health and the NCIOM Task Force on Prevention, combined with the North Carolina Division of Public Health strategic plan and the Injury and Violence Prevention State Advisory Council, have laid the path toward this goal.
