U-M Injury Prevention Center

A CDC-designated Injury Control Research Center located at the University of Michigan. Injury is the leading cause of death for people aged 1 to 44 years.

Each year, more than 50 million people are injured seriously enough to require medical treatment in the US. BUT nearly all injuries are predictable or preventable. The University of Michigan Injury Prevention Center conducts extensive research on injury prevention, supports education and training in the field, and reaches out to share evidence-based findings. Our aim is to reduce human injury by providing evidence-based information that can shape both policy and individual behavior.

In 2024, su***de was the second leading cause of death among Michigan residents ages 10–34. How can we work together to support our fellow Michiganders?

As part of our prevention efforts with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services —which include providing strategic guidance to the Michigan Su***de Prevention Council—our team co-authored a new report outlining the Council’s priorities and recommendations for su***de prevention across the state.

Building on the work of a previous IPC intern, this summer 2026 intern and Biostatistics student Lucian Kapushoc joined the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research for a unique data-focused project digging into the relationship between weatherization of homes, extreme heat, and fall injuries.

The project is an example of a concept near-and-dear to our hearts as injury prevention professionals — transforming rigorous scientific data into insights that can make a real difference in the lives of individuals confronting urgent issues.

Injury Prevention spans disciplines and research topics, including emerging concerns like E-bike and E-scooter safety as they become more and more ubiquitous.

With her sights set on the medical field, where one day she may be treating those who’ve sustained injuries in related ways, University of Michigan epidemiology student Saanvi Srinivasan has been spending some of her time interning with Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to learn how injuries can be averted before they occur — the core goal of the injury prevention field.

For her 2026 U-M IPC internship, Shanel Baxter is working with University of Michigan School of Nursing Professor Emerita Dr. Julia Seng, co-founder of the nonprofit organization Growing Forward Together, where she'll be adapting the organization's "Survivor Mom's Curriculum" to support coparents, mothers coping with SUD (substance use disorder), promote gender inclusivity, and more. The curriculum was created to support pregnant and parenting people coping with ACEs and PTSD, and provide trauma-informed psychoeducation that promotes the health and wellbeing of these individuals and their families.

Inspired by the lived experiences of herself and others, she hopes the internship will further enhance her community engagement skills, knowledge of organizational structure and functioning, and allow her to further practice the real world application of her education.

Stay tuned for more spotlights on our interns as they deepen their injury prevention experience this summer!
