Indicator 4 (suggested maximum 3-4 pages) (Summary to the web version)“Programs that are based on the available evidence”8.Of all the programs/projects listed in Indicator 2 and Indicator 3, please specify if they are ‘evidence-based’? Those identified as ‘evidence-based’ please describe the source(s) of the evidence. Have any contacts been established with Safe Community Support Centre, scientific institutions or other organizations about the development and/or implementation of evidence-based strategies? If yes: Which ones? What has been the extent of their guidance?

We were in close relation with Iranian International Safe Community Support Centre in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Moreover, we have used recommendations by Tabriz Health Services Management Research centre and Road Traffic Injury Research Centre.

To review the available evidences on safety, we firstly determined safety indicators. Then we discussed them and selected a list of indicators to be measured and reported by the related organizations. After extracting the data, they were presented and discussed in related committees’ sessions and interventions to affect the indicators trend were planned by the committee.

Some of the evidence-based interventions are here:

Preventing CO poisoning:

Poisoning with CO is one of the Life threatening injuries in Iran, especially in East-Azerbaijan Province and Sahand city. We have monitored the CO poisoning trend in last years and initiated cultural and educational programs to control it. Figure 1 shows the CO poisoning trend in Sahand city during safe community initiation.

8 ‘Evidence-based strategies/programs’ are understood to be strategies/programs that have been evaluated and demonstrated to be effectively using available research results

Traffic safety:

Based on available evidences on traffic accidents, we have designed Sahand city Traffic risk maps. These maps shows classifies the city roads in three categories of high risk, relative risk and low risk roads. Moreover, these maps show the priority areas and roads for traffic safety promotion initiatives implementation.

We have used these maps for drawing the interventions on traffic safety promotion such as traffic light installation, intersections safety promotions, traffic stripping, speed bumps installation and other interventions.

School safety:Schools are one of the most important settings in the community and must be in priority of safety promotion. A field assessment was done (2016) on schools safety by a cross-sector team comprising of education organization, municipality, health organization and Sahand Construction Company. The results showed that about 79% of the schools had any warning sign and only 19% had speed reducing sign in their zone. 57% of schools had no cross-walks since about 50% of the children walks to the schools. Moreover, nearly 50% of the schools had no traffic safety edu-cation programs for the students. Stairs was unsafe in nearly 35% of the schools.We have discussed the results in the committee sessions and developed action plans includ-ing: Traffic education holding in schools, improving stairs safety, Installing traffic signs and cross-walks in school zones and etc.Our assessment in 2018 showed a desirable improvement in safety measures. However, the safety improvement programs are in continues in schools.
