Hey ⁦@EllenJMacKenzie⁩ and ⁦@JohnsHopkinsHBS⁩ colleagues, did everyone answer this ⁦@Jeopardy⁩ question correctly? Pretty cool to make the board!

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

@InjuryFreeKids Q9_We engaged with urban kids to #BeInjuryFree and asked their help in creating a video for them about helmets. Check out our award-winning video, You Make the Call (done in partnership with @DrLeticiaRyan), at https://t.co/e5BJZdkD7r @JohnsHpkinsCIRP

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

@InjuryFreeKids Q7_Check out our work making pedestrian safety a priority on our campus @JohnsHpkinsCIRP. We describe the formative research, campaign materials and evaluation results in this report, https://t.co/6gMiV9lAlh

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

@AmerAcadPeds @healthychildren Q5_We found that in homes with children, Rx opioids were stored unsafely. All medications (& other household poisons) should be stored in a locked place. To #BeInjuryFree, adults should remove unused/expired meds from homes to reduce risks of (un)intentional poisonings/misuse.

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

@jpmacares Q4_We listen to and support parents, who all want their kids to #BeInjuryFree. And, we make it easy for them to access good information and resources to help them practice the ABCS of safe sleep every time they place their baby to sleep.

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

@InjuryFreeKids Q3_When kids are around any body of water, one adult needs to be identified as the “watcher” so kids can #BeInjuryFree knowing they are being properly supervised.

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

@ChildrensSafety Q1_I like to encourage every parent who installed their own child's car seat to get it check by a Child Passenger Safety Technician.

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

IFCK-Baltimore is here! Proud to also represent @johnshpkinsCIRP, one of @CDCInjury-funded centers of excellence in injury control helping us all #BeInjuryFree

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

Our biggest incoming @JohnsHopkinsHBS cohort yet! Welcome MSPH Health Ed and Health Communication student. It’s going to be great year.

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

@Tracy_Mehan @SF4publichealth Come visit us in Bmore this Summer (when it’s safe to do) and we’ll take you to Gertrude’s to meet Chef Shields! The Summer of #SAVIR2021

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

I appreciate how good leadership has been critical in effective response to #Covid19. Same is true for #injury. Lucky to work at an institution with so many great leaders: @acgielen @SF4publichealth @DR_KMP @EllenJMacKenzie @abachani1 #covidIVP

[Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research & Policy @JohnsHpkinsCIRP]

A6: We are grateful for core support from National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (@CDCInjury) that allows us to adapt in response to public health crises such as the #COVID19 pandemic. #CovidIVP #SAVIR2021

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

Looking forward to seeing this important work #CovidIVP

[Center for Injury Research and Policy @CIRPatNCH]

A5: Dr. Ginger Yang helped lead an international study which looked at Covid-19’s effect on people’s mental 🧠and physical🏋️health. (Survey closed, results forthcoming.) #CovidIVP

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

@JohnsHopkinsSPH has been great by scheduling #NoMeetingDays during #COVID19 which helps reduce stress and provide some much needed down time #CovidIVP

[SAVIR @savir_org]

Q5: What are some good examples you have seen of how people and organizations have addressed injury and violence prevention during COVID-19? #SAVIR2021 #CovidIVP

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

Parents and kids: are you wearing your bike helmets when you ride bike? check out this cool video to see how bike helmets are like phone covers and keep you safe from #CovidIVP! https://t.co/TkoivLPCHS

[SAVIR @savir_org]

Q4: What resources do you know of that can aid injury and violence prevention during the COVID-19 response and recovery? #SAVIR2021 #COVIDIVP

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

We also need to engage multiple partners across all sectors to effectively prevent home and community based injuries. #CovidIVP

[Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research & Policy @JohnsHpkinsCIRP]

A3: Survey methods and surveillance are key to understanding the nature of the problem. The #IVP field should adapt existing interventions and develop new evidence-informed strategies to respond to changes in injury and violence due to #COVID19. #CovidIVP #SAVIR2021

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

We did this work fairly early in the pandemic. Need to update this surveillance work to get latest estimates. @acgielen #CovidIVP

[Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research & Policy @JohnsHpkinsCIRP]

A2: Respondents reporting injuries and/or ingestions were more likely to be in homes with children. (2/3) #CovidIVP #SAVIR2021 https://t.co/as9qEw0iaK

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

Awesome #SAVIR2021 experience to hear from #injury prevention ‘living legends’ whose collective efforts have “saved lives-millions at a time”: Baker, Krug, Raman and Robertson

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

Mine was an observation of drivers’ and child passengers’ restraint use — in the ‘olden days’ before child passenger seat laws! Still working on this topic

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

Another win for #science. Congrats @NASA @NASAPersevere @NASAJPL for a job well done! Amazing what you can do with great leadership, cooperation and smart people.

[Eileen McDonald @EileenIn4]

That made me laugh out loud. Another one of my favorites (albeit non holiday) was a friend’s child who sang ‘bring your juice box money’ to the B52’s ‘bring your juke box money’

[Elise Omaki @EliseOmaki]

My 5yo is singing the refrain from Angels We Have Heard on High on repeat, but she keeps saying “Here is Chelsea’s mayo”. So, the New Year is off to a good start. What do your kids sing in place of “in excelsis Deo”?
