Dr. Deborah Kuhls (Medicine) and a team of researchers at UNLV’s Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine have been analyzing crash, injury, and non-adjudicated citation data for over a decade to inform prevention and policy initiatives. Findings are published in quarterly TREND newsletters. The information provides a deeper understanding of risk-taking behaviors and can help shape traffic safety policy recommendations and injury prevention efforts. You can sign up to receive them here.

The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV Department of Surgery has been awarded a $571,279 grant from the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety, to continue its work towards understanding and preventing traffic-related injuries and fatalities in Nevada. Traffic-related injuries and deaths remain an increasing public health challenge.
