FEATURED PROGRAMS
OHIO CRASH OUTCOME DATA EVALUATION SYSTEM ( CODES) PROGRAM
With support from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Center for Injury Research and Policy and the Ohio Department of Public Safety, along with the Ohio Hospital Association and the Ohio Department of Health, have established the Ohio Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES) Program. The Ohio CODES Program represents a collaborative effort among state agencies and private organizations committed to the goal of reducing the number of deaths and injuries on Ohio’s roadways. To accomplish this goal, CODES links data from traffic crash reports with medical and financial outcome data. Past CODES projects have focused on topics such as traumatic brain injury, recreational motorized vehicles and the primary enforcement of the safety belt law in Ohio.
HOME SAFETY PROGRAM
In 2008, the Center for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP) established the Home Safety Program to focus on the leading causes of injury in and around the home. Researchers at CIRP are working to prevent home injuries by translating original research into innovative interventions and public policy changes.
INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM
Directed by Dr. Huiyun Xiang, principal investigator at the Center for Injury Research and Policy, the International Program promotes injury research, collaboration and training globally.

RIO™
Developed in 2004 by one of the Center for Injury Research and Policy 's principal investigators, Dr. R. Dawn Comstock, the RIO™ (Reporting Information Online) surveillance system is a data collection tool which receives front line data in real time from study reporters such as certified athletic trainers, coaches and nurses nationwide. The RIO™ program has enabled the study of injury and illness in many areas, including women's professional football, youth camps and high school sports. To date, findings obtained through the RIO™ system have contributed to the safety of participating athletes by driving targeted injury prevention programs, rule changes in sports and safety legislation. The findings have also been published in over 20 peer-reviewed manuscripts and presented at numerous international, national and local conferences. Research from RIO™ has been highlighted in a variety of media publications including The New York Times, ABC News, CNN and Time Magazine.

SMOKE ALARM STUDY
In 2010, the Center for Injury Research and Policy began
a smoke alarm study to determine key smoke alarm characteristics that result in
successful awakening of children and prompt their rapid escape. Determining these
characteristics is key to developing an effective and practical smoke alarm for
sleeping children.
