The Western Pacific Injury Prevention Network was established to provide structured assistance to states within designated regions to:
- increase state injury and violence prevention capacity across the network to prevent and reduce injury and violence
- share best practices
- connect members to collaborators and resources
The mission is to implement effective injury and violence prevention strategies and policy for injury and violence prevention across the network.
Membership includes representatives from states & territories in HHS Regions 9 & 10 and includes both state, local, and national public health agencies, research centers, and technical assistance organizations.
