The Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center (HIPRC) with partners to reduce traffic and transportation injury risk, encourage safe travel and improve the safety for active transportation modes (such as walking, biking and public transport). Our Center’s areas of research include emerging road traffic challenges such as distraction, marijuana impairment, concussion; the safety impact of transportation infrastructure; and innovation in measuring pedestrian/bicycle exposure.
To accomplish these goals, we rely on community and research partnerships and a strong methods core with expertise in large data linkage, imputation, simulation, machine learning and artificial intelligence strategies. Our work ultimately seeks to prevent traffic-related injury and death, with an emphasis on health equity. Together, we aim to do this through collaborative research, education and public awareness.
