The following is a list of web sites, addresses and references that may be useful resources for those seeking data and information related to injury and injury prevention. This is not a comprehensive collection of injury resources, but rather a list of key resources through which one may gain access to a much broader array of both statewide and national injury-related facts, program information, data, research literature, event calendars, regulations and more. Each resource is placed under only one of the following headings, although the content of many of these resources spans multiple headings.
