Public Health Behavior Solutions (PHBS) provides local governmental agencies including but not limited to public health departments, mental health and social work, parks and recreation, emergency medical services, libraries, and those working in offices with injury prevention programs. This can include program development and training, media advisory support, campaign development, and capacity building which includes coalition development, networking, and intergovernmental program development.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT
These injury prevention programs can provide staff development and training such as workplace-related injuries (violence, ergonomic related, etc.), which can include effectively fitting a workstation to fit the worker's body and exercises to help reduce musculoskeletal injuries from overuse and repetitive movements from daily work routines. Ultimately reduces sick leave and Workman's Compensation cases while promoting a healthier workplace, improving performance and morale.
COMMUNIITY EDUCATION PROGRAMS
These can include a wide range of injury mechanisms including both intentional (intimate partner violence, bullying, child abuse and neglect, elder abuse, suicide) and unintentional (motor vehicle occupant safety, pedestrian and bicycle safety, falls, poisoning, suffocation, burns, drowning). These educational programs can be implemented in the form of adapting educational materials and interactive educational activities to already established programs and community activities such as those at community centers, parks and recreation, farmer's markets, etc. Establishing networks and coalitions are often a significant part of the sustainability on the incorporation of injury prevention programs in the community.
