It is my great pleasure to welcome you to this edition of the proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Injury Free Coalition of Kids. This volume highlights the tremendous work of coalition partners. Well-known hazards facing children are addressed, as well as those that are less obvious, but still a significant source of morbidity. Coalition members are willing to tackle difficult, and often politically charged, issues to improve the safety of the Nation's children.In this issue, several articles focus on issues related to motor vehicle-related trauma in children. The article by Lawson reminds us that children are part of families and that the potential failure to address substance-abuse issues in caretakers results in increased risk for children. Another article, from Statter in Chicago, uses geographic information technology to explore the relationship between pedestrian "hot-spots," census data, and the local, built environment. Rogers' article, from Connecticut, critically evaluates the effect of the state's graduated drivers licensing system and confirms the utility of this approach in decreasing motor vehicle crashes for 16- and 17-year-old drivers. Finally, Schaechter, from Miami, evaluates a multifaceted intervention designed to improve passenger restraint usage in Latino immigrant communities.
