237Partially Meets Advisory Ideal
The respondent identified the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (KIPRC) as the entity who quantifies the burden of injury related to motor vehicle crashes. The document that has been shared only lists motor vehicle crashes as a focus area. Because the document does not demonstrate the use of data, such as EMS, emergency department, hospital discharge, trauma registry, or vital records databases it is unknown if KIPRC calculates statistics for the Commonwealth or if it conducts its own motor vehicle crash research.
