Measuring the Incidence of Inflicted Childhood Neurotrauma

Measuring the Incidence of Inflicted Childhood Neurotrauma (Shaken Baby Syndrome) was a two-day meeting held in at the Harborview Injury Prevention Center in Seattle, Washington in October of 2006. Findings from this meeting were published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

The NCSBS received a grant from, and acknowledges the generosity of, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation who funded this symposium. The aim was to bring together respected expert professionals to address the challenges of instantiating valid and reliable Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma surveillance systems in the United States and other countries.
