Success Stories

SAVIR interviewed researchers at CDC funded and other injury/violence centers about their research accomplishments that have had an identifiable impact on the public health and financial effects of injury and violence. These narratives were used to document the cost effectiveness of research in injury and violence control. SAVIR used this material on this web site and for distribution of public education efforts through other media.
