Injury Center Success Story
Arizona Battle of the Belt Program Saves Lives
Arizona Department of Health Services
"We are trying to address the leading cause of death and injuries to Arizona teens, and the cool part is that we are letting the kids decide what works. It’s all about defining roles and empowering students to do it—not developing tag lines they don’t get."
- Tomi St. Mars, Injury Prevention Program Manager
