A8: A recent Dell Children's Colin's Hope report found that there are disparities in fatal unintentional drownings in TX. If you are male, black, and/or 1 - 4 y/o you are at higher risk for drowning. These disparities will guide future #drowningprevention efforts! #beinjuryfree

Injury Free Coalition for Kids A5.2:On a community level, working together to improve social determinants of health and spreading factual, nonpoliticized information. Healthcare providers can perform a violence risk assessment. #BeInjuryFree

A5: When firearms are securely stored, suicide by firearm decreases by 78% and unintentional shootings decrease by 85%. Practice #SaferStorage by keeping your firearm unloaded & locked separately from your ammunition. bit.ly/CIRPGunSafety #BeInjuryFree #T4CIP

A6. Cannabis edibles look just like products commonly eaten by children including candy and other sweets. The difference is that they contain very high concentrations of THC. Edibles must be kept out of sight and reach (preferably locked) of children. #BeInjuryFree

A7. One of the biggest challenges in our community are children unintentionally ingesting marijuana derivative products, especially look-a-likes like these!
Safe storage and better laws regarding packaging are badly needed!
