National Center for Injury Prevention and Control:
NCIPC Homepage - The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
works to reduce morbidity, disability, mortality, and costs associated with
injuries. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began studying home
and recreational injuries in the early 1970s and violence prevention in 1983. From these
early activities grew a national program to reduce injury, disability, death, and costs
associated with injuries outside the workplace. In June 1992, CDC established the National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). As the lead federal agency for injury
prevention, NCIPC works closely with other federal agencies; national, state, and local
organizations; state and local health departments; and research institutions.
