Minnesota's success story highlights how Core SIPP implements, evaluates and disseminates injury prevention strategies into action.
What will Minnesota do?
Minnesota Core State Injury Prevention Program (Core SIPP) is creating a publicly available dashboard visualizing data on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) protective and risk factors. They considered 78 protective factors that could help prevent ACEs. Based on a series of meetings with over 100 school behavioral health professionals, the 78 factors were prioritized and refined to a list of 15 factors that they could track over time.
How will they create the dashboard?
Minnesota Core SIPP will analyze the quality of potential Minnesota ACEs data sources and gather the data they collected from school professionals. The dashboard will include key data indicators from several sources, including:
- Argonne National Laboratory
- The American Community Survey
- The Minnesota Student Survey
- Minnesota Department of Human Services
- Minnesota Department of Public Safety
- Minnesota County Health Rankings
- Minnesota Department of Education
- U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Environment Atlas
- U.S. Census Bureau
Why are they creating the dashboard?
Schools expressed a need to better understand ACEs that children in Minnesota experience, and a need to better understand protective factors. Minnesota does not have a readily available resource for school district staff about the number of people in Minnesota who experience ACEs or who have ACEs-related risk and protective factors organized by age, race, ethnicity, and school district. This dashboard will serve as a centralized location for pertinent ACEs information to help inform action and prevention efforts.
