Abstract:

This paper provides a high-level overview of the approach, data, and assumptions used to produce an online tool that allows state health departments, departments of transportation, and decision makers to assess the costs and effectiveness of implementing up to 12 selected interventions and to select those most effective in reducing deaths and injuries from motor vehicle crashes for a given implementation budget. It also provides examples of how costs and effectiveness estimates were developed for certain interventions, as well as information about how the tool works in various modes of analysis. The RAND Corporation developed the tool for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. The tool is available at http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/calculator/.
