Greetings:
I will need letters of support from various community agencies and board members. Attachment B is a sample that came from another study. If you are so inclined, please draft a short statement of support of the study and send to me as a PDF or a hard copy (Bill Reger-Nash, WVU Community Medicine, Box 9190, Morgantown, WV 26506-9190). Ideally, the statement would be on your office stationery, although Board Members can simply indicate your board position in your return address.
Incorporate ideas contained in the attached summary statement as a content guide. Our goal is to have the final IRB proposal (with supporting documents) ready by July 15.
Thank you.
Be well.
Bill

Morgantown Municipal Bicycle and Ped Safety Board Members:
We have an opportunity to assess existing Mon County EMS data on bike and ped injuries. Although this will not be comprehensive info (many injuries are not attended to by EMS) and much info will be missing (not available in the existing documentation), the data can provide guidance for engineering, promotion, education, and enforcement activities for Morgantown and ultimately Mon County.
Pls review the attached summary statement and the Incidence assessment form. Your suggestions will be appreciated.
Be well.
