## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
For more than 30 years, the University of North Carolina (UNC) Injury Prevention Research Center (IPRC)
has transformed and advanced the field of injury control. IPRC is well-positioned to continue to be a world
leader in collaborative efforts to reduce the incidence and burden of injury and violence. Our Mission is to
build the field of injury and violence prevention (IVP) through interdisciplinary research studies and by training
the next generation of IVP researchers and practitioners. The theme for the 5-year proposal described in this
application is “building injury and violence prevention capacity for protecting vulnerable populations.” UNC
IPRC has five Cores: Administrative, Outreach, Education & Training, Methods, and Research. The Methods
Core will be funded by a matching cost share of $250,000 from our institution.
Our Research Core is organized around five Focus Areas, which are closely aligned with the priorities of
CDC's NCIPC: Gender-based Violence, Opioid Drug Overdose, Child Abuse & Neglect, Traumatic Brain Injury,
and Road Traffic Injury. The four research projects proposed in this application provide innovative,
interdisciplinary science that is responsive to the priorities of the practitioner community. Project 1, entitled
“Intimate Partner Violence among Sexual Minorities from Adolescence into Adulthood,” leverages a large, pre-
existing cohort to examine longitudinal patterns of IPV experiences among sexual minorities and
heterosexuals. Project 2, entitled “Medicaid Expansion and Deaths from Opioid Overdose and Violence in
Formerly Incarcerated Persons,” will quantify the effect of Medicaid expansion on opioid overdose, homicide,
and suicide in person recently released from incarceration. Project 3, entitled “Adaptation of the Moms and
Teens for Safe Dates Program for Web-Based Delivery,” draws on UNC's 30-year history in the area of
adolescent dating violence by translating a proven intervention program to a web-based delivery platform.
Project 4, entitled “Development of an Emergency Department Patient-Centered Intervention for the
Prevention of Long-Term Opioid Use,” examines the efficacy of a simple, inexpensive emergency department-
based intervention intended to improve early pain management and reduce transition to long-term opioid use.
In addition, the outreach, translation, methodologic, training, and educational initiatives proposed in this
application are designed to increase the professional capacity of the IVP workforce, facilitate evidence-based
policy change on injury and violence issues, and broadly disseminate evidence-based injury and violence
solutions. Together, the research and practice-based initiatives proposed in this application will advance the
science, translation, and application of IVP concepts and programs.
