The Institute of Medicine's and National Academy of Sciences' 1985 and 1989 reports spark a national call for a consolidated federal focus on injury prevention. The mission — bring the public health perspective to injury prevention. Its aim — apply the same kinds of techniques that had proven so effective in preventing infectious disease transmission and reducing the effect of chronic illnesses to reduce injuries and their effects. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention merges existing programs to form a division for injury control.
