==Health Program Information==
The VIPP collaborates with the Utah Office of Highway Safety, the Zero Fatalities campaign, and local health departments to conduct educational campaigns that target 16- to 19-year-old drivers, young pedestrians, law enforcement, etc. as funding allows.
The Utah SAFE KIDS Coalition works to prevent unintentional injuries among children through raising community awareness, influencing policies, promoting safety, and establishing private/public partnerships. Inspections and instructions on the proper use of car seats, booster seats, and bicycle helmets are offered routinely to the public with car seat checkpoints and helmet education and distribution statewide.
The Violence and Injury Prevention Program (VIPP) is a trusted and comprehensive resource for data related to violence and injury. Through education, this information helps promote partnerships and programs to prevent injuries and improve public health and safety.
