Welcome to the Public Health Agency of Canada's E-Bulletin for the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP ).

This E-Bulletin is intended for those who use Canadian injury data and are involved in injury prevention.  Our aim is to communicate injury statistics in a timely and user-friendly fashion.

The CHIRPP E-Bulletin is produced by the Public Health Agency of Canada's Injury and Child Maltreatment Section. A core objective of this section is to contribute to the reduction and severity of injuries in Canada.

Content of the bulletin is provided as an information-sharing service and inclusion of non-Public Health Agency of Canada links does not represent endorsement.

Child and Youth Injury in Review, 2009 Edition - Spotlight on Consumer Product Safety

This E-Bulletin is a special edition to introduce a new report from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

This report from PHAC is a collaborative effort also involving Health Canada and Safe Kids Canada to provide an overview of unintentional injury in Canada, while also shining a spotlight on consumer product-related injuries, the focus of this year's Safe Kids week.
