## Abstract

Summary/Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over 5 million people die each year from trauma, injuries
and violence, most of them in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Southeast Asia has one of the
highest burdens of both trauma and injuries, and of related disabilities. In Vietnam, injuries, especially road
traffic injuries (RTIs), are the fifth leading cause of premature death, and this issue has been forefront on the
agenda of government agencies. But in Vietnam and across Southeast Asia, local capacity is lacking to
conduct research on trauma and injuries to inform national policy and programmatic responses. The absence
of comprehensive training programs in the science of trauma and injury prevention, and the social and
economic impact within the larger public health sector in Vietnam, create a serious impediment to analytic work
in this field. This proposal offers a plan to apply concerted action to reduce the growing burden of trauma and
injuries. The proposed 2016-2021 Johns Hopkins University-Hanoi School of Public Health Trauma and
Injury Research Program in Vietnam (JHU-Hanoi TrIP) will build on the existing work between JHU and
HSPH. Through this proposed program, we hope to build on this work and that conducted by many of our
colleagues at JHU with HSPH in the larger field of health research and public health in recent years. The
overall goal of the Johns Hopkins University-Hanoi School of Public Health Trauma and Injury Research
Program in Vietnam (JHU-Hanoi TrIP) is to strengthen research capacity on injury and trauma in Vietnam, as
well as their long-term health, economic, and societal consequences through an innovative model of
sustainable capacity development. Our approach will be based on close collaboration between two institutions
– Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHU), USA and Hanoi School of Public Health
(HSPH), Vietnam – each with a great commitment to understanding the public health impact of trauma and
injuries, experience and expertise in research and a history of collaborative work. Our model will focus on
using US expertise to strengthen the Vietnamese institution, promote a sustainable research enterprise
focused on injuries and trauma and their consequences, leadership, national policy dialogue, and international
linkages to Vietnam.
