TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator x a
DATE: May 1, 1989 T4 COUty�
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 837 (Roos)
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 837 by Assemblyman Mike Roos, which would require the
State Department of Health Services to be a central information resource on injury epidemiology,
prevention and control and on research projects with respect to injuries. AB 837 also requires the
State Department of Health Services to develop and maintain a centralized injury data collection
system.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law there is no central repository of data on injuries. This makes research on injury
prevention and control programs difficult to undertake. The Health Services Director has submitted
the attached memorandum indicating his reasons for wanting to have such data available. This office
concurs that passage of AB 837 would assist in beginning to gather data on injuries which can then
be useful in injury prevention and control programs. It is therefore recommended that the Board of
Supervisors support AB 837.
