Description
The overarching purpose of the project described in this proposal is to improve the
capacity of all agencies in the state of Kentucky involved in violence and injury
prevention. The KVIPP will continue to develop, implement, and evaluate effective
surveillance programs and utilize best practice prevention and policy strategies to reduce
the burden of violence and injury in our four priority areas. We will accomplish this
through the continued development and implementation of our state injury prevention
plan which will include:
„h Enhance VIPP infrastructure by building capacity at the state and local level for
violence and injury prevention by expanding our KY Safety and Prevention
Alignment Network (KSPAN). This will be accomplished by securing additional
organizational agreements (MOU) with key stakeholders (i.e. ECHV & CBCAP)
and creating a Terms of Reference document to better define the roles and
responsibilities of our ICPG (KSPAN). KSPAN will continue its promotion and
support for local communities to develop and build safety coalitions (i.e. Safe
Communities).
„h KVIPP staff will annually engage in workforce development to build our capacity
and demonstrate core competencies of injury and violence prevention.
„h Kentucky¡¦s VIPP plans to continually improve the evidence base for supporting
violence and injury prevention program and policy strategies.
„h Creation of a policy subcommittee within the ICPG (KSPAN) which will be
involved in all phases of planning, supporting and evaluating program and policy
interventions.
„h Establishing a process for the annual review, synthesis, and dissemination of data
and information from core data sets and any available materials derived from
them. Where possible, comparisons of Kentucky to the rest of the United States
will be made and county level data will be made available to communities for
comparison within in KY.
„h Systematically inventorying injury prevention and control programs, data, and
resources within the state, and developing a web site to make this information
easily accessible. The objective of these activities is to foster coordination and
collaboration among agencies doing injury prevention and control activities in
Kentucky.
„h Create and implement a detailed, stage based evaluation plan to measure program
process, effectiveness and impact of the Kentucky Violence and Injury Prevention
Program (KVIPP) and ICPG (KSPAN) member organizations activities. The plan
will outline a process for an ongoing evaluation of KVIPP status in the Five
Component Areas of a Model State Violence and Injury Prevention Program.
„h In addition, we plan to do evaluations of violence and injury prevention programs
and policy strategies.
