The Pediatric Injury Prevention, Education and Research (PIPER) program is a new initiative that aims to contribute to the reduction in child and adolescent injury and its outcomes in Colorado and throughout the world as a function of high quality research and effective practice.
Injury is a leading killer of children in the U.S. and Colorado. Through research, education and prevention activities, PIPER will achieve its mission: to facilitate scientific discovery and evidence-based practice that increases safety, reduces injury and violence, and improves injury outcomes among children and adolescents.
Launched in 2011, PIPER is a collaborative initiative of the Colorado School of Public Health, the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and Children’s Hospital Colorado.
