  1. Hello, class.
  2. My name is Robert Brooks, and today I will be
  3. disgusting my topic, which is injury prevention with the specific
  4. dynamic of teen driving.
  5. So that being said, without further ado, let's begin unpacking
  6. my topic.
  7. So you might ask, What is my topic?
  8. Well, I'm not to tell you.
  9. My topic, as I already stated, is injury prevention with
  10. a specific focus on targeting team jargon.
  11. So let's begin.
  12. Unintentional injuries are among the top 15 killers for Americans
  13. of all ages.
  14. Much of society accepts them as accidents or even part
  15. of life.
  16. But the reality is that many of these unintentional injuries
  17. are predictable and can be prevented.
  18. The injury and violence prevention objectives for 2020 exhibit a
  19. broad range of problems which, if sufficiently communicated, will enhance
  20. the health of our country.
  21. Mhm. Why does it matter, Mr Brooks?
  22. Well, I'm about to tell you, these unintentional injuries are
  23. the leading cause of death for Americans from agents 1
  24. to 44 and is the leading cause of disability for
  25. every single age group, regardless of factors of race, ethnicity
  26. or socio economic factors, there are more than 180,000 deaths
  27. from injuries each year, Whether it be violent.
  28. Injuries are unintentional injuries.
  29. Around 10% of these injuries are succumbed to non fatal
  30. injuries that are bad enough to be admitted into a
  31. hospital emergency room.
  32. Around 50% of all teams will be involved in a
  33. car accident before they graduate high school.
  34. It has also shown that teens whose parents continue to
  35. practice driving with them sure, a much smaller chance of
  36. the automobile collision.
  37. Mhm. So the Healthy People Initiative is designed to guide
  38. national health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve the
  39. health of our own nation.
  40. Mhm. Yeah.
  41. So the overview of my first topic, our first Peace,
  42. is basically this.
  43. There are many factors that can affect the risk of
  44. unintentional injuries and car accidents.
  45. The choices people make in their everyday lives, such as
  46. drug or alcohol use, are even taking risks such as
  47. driving and really at ridiculous speeds and racing and hitting
  48. corners and driving under the influence.
  49. All of these are often intertwined with the physical factors
  50. that caused unintentional injuries.
  51. The environment of one's home, our community both affect the
  52. rates of fires, burns, violence and road traffic injuries.
  53. Access to health care and systems created for injury related
  54. instances can also reduce the consequences of injuries including death
  55. and long term disability, social norms, education, victimization, history, victimization,
  56. history, social relationships, parental supervision of youth, pure group associations,
  57. family interactions, community environment, cohesion and school neighborhoods, communities.
  58. Soc it'll societal level factors, cultural beliefs, attitudes, incentives and
  59. disincentives and laws and regulations.
  60. All all of these happen influence on the factors that
  61. affect decisions, making a decision making that leads to unintentional
  62. injuries. So all that being said, there is something called
  63. healthy people Inter year.
  64. Here we're in 2020.
  65. So it's healthy people 2020 initiative.
  66. And their objective is basically improving the health of our
  67. population by making by enacting laws that progressively contribute to
  68. the well being of society.
  69. And we keep track of these, you know, and we
  70. make new goals depending on the year prior.
  71. So there are objectives trying to be met.
  72. We're just gonna talk us about a small portion of
  73. these objectives.
  74. So we're gonna be talking about reducing mortal vehicle crash
  75. related deaths, okay, and or injuries.
  76. There's many, many statistical objectives.
  77. We're just gonna talk about a few so that Tze
  78. jump right in.
  79. The first statistical objective is this.
  80. In 2000 and seven, there were 13.8 motor vehicle traffic
  81. related deaths per 100,000 people.
  82. Of course, the age was adjusted to year 2000 for
  83. the extend their population.
  84. This doesn't sound bad until you realize that almost all
  85. of these could have been prevented by taking preventative measures.
  86. So that's the statistic for 2000 and seven, and the
  87. goal of healthy people 2020 is 12.4 deaths per 100,000
  88. population. This is a 10% improvement.
  89. And, of course, we make we strive for these improvements
  90. by implementing laws or codes like where your steep built
  91. getting, you know, getting a ticket if you don't wear
  92. your seatbelt.
  93. Having speed limit laws.
  94. I mean, I still think it's amazing how people will
  95. get pulled over because they're not running the sheet, though.
  96. Do you not care about your life or your life
  97. of the those around you?
  98. Click it or ticket.
  99. Am I right?
  100. Let's move on.
  101. Yeah, The second statistical objective is this.
  102. Per every 100 million vehicle miles traveled in 2000 and
  103. 81.3 motor vehicle crash Crashed Related deaths occurred in 2000
  104. and eight at 1.2 deaths in by miles.
  105. Travel is the target for healthy people.
  106. 2020. These types of initiatives are important because they basically
  107. they keep us in check.
  108. You know, if if these statistics and end up skyrocketing,
  109. we know why we know that we need to buckle
  110. down and implement some of these laws and and back
  111. up some of these laws with law enforcement, you know?
  112. Okay, So my third statistical objective 771.4 nonfatal nonfatal injuries
  113. per 100,000 off our population were caused by motor vehicle
  114. crashes in 2000 and eight.
  115. The goal of healthy people 2020 is to reduce that
  116. number down to 694.3 non fatal injuries per 100,000.
  117. Basically, you know, there are many other objectives that are
  118. being watched by health experts who are trying to improve
  119. motor vehicle crashes and incidents like reducing pedestrian deaths on
  120. public roads, reducing non fatal pedestrian injured injuries on public
  121. roads, increasing the number of states and district of Columbia
  122. with laws requiring bicycle helmets for bicycle writers and increase
  123. the proportion of motorcycle operator's and passengers using Helms.
  124. So, yeah, now we're going to talk about some intervention.
  125. Resource is okay.
  126. It's not.
  127. It's not complicated at all is pretty simple.
  128. Okay, I'm going to discuss how an intervention has demonstrated
  129. that the healthy people 2020 objective outcome.
  130. So this I will not discuss an intervention that has
  131. demonstrated the healthy people 2020 objective outcome.
  132. So this one, there's many, But I'm just gonna talk
  133. about one.
  134. This one was developed by Community Preventative Service Task Force.
  135. This injury prevention law has required a universal helmet for
  136. all motorists.
  137. And you go back.
  138. You can see exactly what I'm talking about.
  139. So increase the number of states and the District of
  140. Columbia with loss reclining a bicycle helmet writers and increasing
  141. how much?
  142. Excuse me.
  143. Excuse me.
  144. So that is my presentation.
  145. And again, my name is Robert Brooks.
  146. I hope you enjoyed.
  147. Thank you for your time.
  148. And I hope you learned something today.
  149. Have a good day.
