ACHI Releases

February 23, 2009  State Leaders Want Reduction in Preventable Death and Disabling Injury. "Arkansas's injury death rate is 31 percent higher than the national average.  A state-wide trauma system will reduce the number of deaths by 25 percent.  But, it would be penny-wise and pound foolish to stop at that when we could see another 35 percent reduction in deaths through a primary seat belt law and graduated drivers licensing for teens."  Joe Thompson, MD, MPH
