The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and the Baltimore City Fire Department launched the Johns Hopkins CARES Mobile Safety Center in 2004 to keep children safe from unintentional injury, which is the leading cause of death for children nationwide. The mobile safety center is a 40-foot vehicle built as a house-on-wheels, which contains fun, interactive exhibits and low cost safety products. It travels the streets of Baltimore to teach parents and caregivers about the injury risks children face in every home and how to prevent them. Injury is the leading cause of death among children. A Center study showed that low-income Baltimore City children less than 6 years old suffered injuries at a rate twice the national average. Because a major obstacle for these families was easy access to affordable safety products and information, the Center partnered with the Johns Hopkins Children's Center's Harriet Lane Primary Care Clinic to develop the Children's Safety Centers (CSC). |
