CODES): The CODES project at the IICRC performs linkages of Utah motor
vehicle crash files to ambulance run forms and hospital files, allowing
for the assessment of medical and financial outcomes of motor vehicle
crash injuries. In addition, staff at the Center aid other states with
data linkage and research involving linked crash data.

suicide over a five-year period.
Utah Shaken Baby Prevention Program:
This is a collaborative project with Primary Children’s Medical Center
and the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome to implement and evaluate
a hospital-based prevention program designed to reduce the incidence of
Shaken Baby Syndrome in Utah.
Child Trauma Treatment Network-Intermountain
West (CTTN-IW): Faculty at the IICRC are working with Primary
Children’s Medical Center Safe and Healthy Families Division to implement
a professional network of child therapists in the Intermountain West who
will participate in trainings related to improve treatment and services
for children who experience trauma.
Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) Study: The
IICRC was the Utah study site for this recently-completed national trial
in which volunteer, non-medical responders are trained to use the
automatic external defibrillators on cardiac arrest victims in public
facilities.
Utah Crash Summary: For over five years, the
IICRC has analyzed Utah police crash reports and produced a report
describing the analysis. This has included the production of fact sheets
related to various traffic safety topics that have been used by statewide
and local advocacy groups.
