About Us




Who we are

This area of Public Interest is responsible for disseminating research-based knowledge and information on violence and injury prevention.  It is the coordination point for the ACT Against Violence Program and the CDC Graduate Student Fellowship Award program on Violence and Injury Prevention.  We also work to integrate different approaches on violence in the family.


What do we do

We train and provide technical assistance and materials to professionals and community-based organizations to implement the ACT Against Violence program in English and in Spanish.  We coordinate selection of and follow up with the graduate student research annual award.  In addition, we develop publications and provide information and resources to professionals, policy makers, and the general public on violence prevention issues.
