Objectives  print friendly

The Task Force has three main objectives:

  1. To produce a comprehensive European situation analysis of injury risks among adolescents and their prevention. The situation analysis also aims at identifying good practices in interventions addressing youth in general and good practices in injury prevention strategies in particular.
  2. To develop a European communication strategy for injury prevention among adolescents and a related communication plan. The European strategic plan will also offer a template for a comprehensive national plan of action that will contribute to establishing adolescent injury prevention programmes and to setting in place the societal conditions that should lead to a significant reduction in injuries among adolescents.
  3. To initiate European concerted actions for injury prevention programmes in Member States addressing injury risks among adolescents. The activities of the Task Force should lead to establishing a European network of national NGO’s and youth-related agencies that are committed to driving national programmes for action on injury prevention among adolescents.
