Johns Hopkins Injury Prevention and Policy Program
CE24-001, The Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy
Researchers, practitioners, and community partners will develop and share ways to prevent injuries like opioid overdoses and suicide while training people who work in prevention.

What this research studies
This program brings together experts in research, outreach, and training to create practical ways to prevent injuries. It supports three research projects on opioid use disorders and a fourth project on suicide that includes looking at childhood trauma (ACEs). An Administrative Core provides infrastructure and equity oversight, an Outreach Core connects findings to practitioners and policymakers, and a Training & Education Core builds the next generation of prevention leaders. Teams will use new methods and partnerships to turn research into programs, tools, and policy recommendations for communities.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People affected by opioid use disorder, individuals with suicidal thoughts or histories, caregivers, and frontline prevention workers are the primary groups who might be involved or benefit from the program's projects and resources.
Not a fit: Patients with health issues unrelated to injury, opioid use, or suicide prevention or those outside the program's outreach reach may not receive direct benefit from this grant's activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could lead to better prevention programs, policies, and training that reduce opioid overdoses, suicide, and other injuries.
How similar studies have performed: Prior injury-prevention, opioid, and suicide interventions have shown benefit in some settings, and this program builds on that work while using new methods and stronger community partnerships.
