At Dell Children's Medical Center, our injury prevention program is dedicated to protecting the lives of children and families in Central Texas by reducing the risk of preventable injuries. We take a proactive, community-centered approach, offering essential safety education, hands-on training, and access to life-saving resources. Our program strengthens individual skills, partners with healthcare providers, and builds powerful coalitions to create a culture of safety. We also advocate for impactful policy changes that safeguard children’s well-being. We are determined to find solutions to mitigate injury in our communities. We’re committed to keeping kids safe and empowering families with the tools they need to thrive.
At Dell Children’s Medical Center, our doctors and researchers work closely with families and children who participate in pediatric clinical trials and research projects, all aimed at improving treatments for children's mental and physical health conditions. Our research team leads both local and multi-site clinical trials, collaborating with Dell Children’s Level I Trauma care team, mental health professionals, and other pediatric specialists who care for children with traumatic injuries.
We focus on advancing pediatric best practices, interventions, and trauma care through research. Key areas of interest include:
- Child abuse prevention, detection, and treatment - Traumatic brain injury - Drowning prevention and treatment - Causes of accidental and non-accidental injuries - Adverse childhood experiences - Youth suicide - Alcohol and drug use screening and intervention for adolescents - Evaluating injury prevention strategies - Developmental and psychological outcomes after pediatric trauma - Addressing health disparities and promoting equity in trauma care
Our goal is to improve outcomes for children by developing better ways to prevent, detect, and treat trauma and injury.
