The way forward: discussion topics 1.Is there still a need/interest in maintaining the ICE? 2.Proposed change to a “no-fee” membership structure rather than “invited participant”. 3.Member endorsement (or changes) of the Steering Committee 4.How best to communicate between ICE meetings ( , Skype, regular conference calls, calls as needed, etc.) 5.Possibilities for an in-person meeting in 2013 (satellite meeting to another meeting?) 6.Collaborative projects (how they get accomplished, how do we move forward to the next step when the original project is completed, when is a body of work considered “ICE-related”, etc?) 7.Possibilities for funding to support the work of the ICE 8.Outline a two-year plan for the ICE 9.AOB: Relationship with Global Injury Prevention Network and mentoring:

Injury ICE A collaboration open to all Vision document: International Collaborative Effort on Injury Statistics and Methods (Injury ICE) is an organisation dedicated to developing common standardised methods to compare injury statistics across the globe in order to support appropriate policy responses to the global burden of injury. Who participates? – Academia, Gov statistical agencies, NGOs?

Structure Steering Committee and Members Membership: open to all who share the vision, commit to collaborative working, and apply to the Secretary Steering Committee: – Ronan Lyons (Chair), Holly Hedegaard (Secretary), Kirsten McKenzie (Social Secretary), James Harrison, Yvette Holder, Kidist Bartolomeos, Belinda Gabbe, Richard Matzopoulos Evolution to transparency and democracy – Vote now to change or endorse!

Activities Generation and sharing of knowledge and skills Research: academic rigour, peer-reviewed scientific publication Advocacy?: targeted to global BOI issues? Any others?

Collaborative projects – ideas for discussion and augmentation Themes: Disability metrics; Incidence; Severity; Data linkage 1.Accepting a serious injury definition and agreeing to create a paper showing time trends across countries. 2.Continue/extend the work on DSP methodologies 3.Developing our proposals to continually improve upon burden of injury methodologies and metrics 1.New disability weights from Belinda’s NHMRC study 2.Combining survey and hospital data to improve estimation of injury incidence – idea within Ronan’s CIPHER grant from MRC. Build upon Kavi/James’ work for GBD and related projects 3.Possibly updating the injury List of All Deficits theoretical paper: Lyons RA, Finch CF, McClure R, van Beeck E, Macey S. The Injury LOAD Framework- conceptualising the full range of deficits and adverse outcomes following injury and violence. Int J Inj Contr Saf Promot. 2010;17(3): DOI: / The use of data linkage methodologies to answer specific questions e.g. 1.The use of linked hospital separation and mortality data to redistribute X59 deaths and improve measurement of cause-specific burden. Gabbe BJ, Lyons RA. X59: redistribution using linked data and the impact on YLL calculations. Inj Prev 2010:16(Suppl1):A47 2.Extend Gordon’s work on alcohol and injury 3.Extend Belinda/Roonan’s work on head injury and educational attainment 5.Ideas from the series of mortality topics discussed at the meeting. 6.Any other ideas that arise in the meeting.

Funding activities Expectation that most projects are self funded or by grant income, e.g. Kavi and GBD/road injuries; Belinda and BOI meta-analysis Meetings: link to WIPC/SafetyXXXX meetings as Injury Forum/ICE satellites where there is strong local organisation, with use of small attendance fees What to do in 2013? Holly came across review of materials from past ICE meetings, 2006 presentation that suggested applying to various foundations for funding support (e.g., The Rockefeller Foundation The Gates Foundation and other possible foundations identified from the Foundation Center ). – Something for a small workgroup to pursue? Of course, if most of us work for government agencies or academic institutions, we might not be eligible.
