NJ-SHO Center for Integrated Data
The New Jersey Safety and Health Outcomes (NJ-SHO) Center for Integrated Data is a partner program at the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Funded by the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety (HTS), the NJ-SHO Center for Integrated Data is reimagining how safety and health data are collected, integrated, analyzed, and shared to support safe transport in NJ.
For more than a decade, researchers led by Principal Investigator Dr. Allison E. Curry have been conducting research using the NJ-SHO Data Warehouse, a comprehensive collection of linked administrative datasets that has longitudinal information on 24 million individuals of all ages spanning almost 20 years.
These data from the NJ-SHO Data Warehouse are included in an interactive online data dashboard housed in a publicly accessible website launched in spring of 2024. The dashboard provides an innovative way to visualize, monitor, and track progress in traffic safety across communities and over time, with the intention of improving health and safety for all NJ residents. For the first time, users can access more than crash data, including demographic and community characteristics of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians to promote transportation equity for all.
The NJ-SHO Center for Integrated Data team at CIRP and its external research collaborators have published dozens of peer-reviewed research papers using the NJ-SHO Data Warehouse, covering topics including effects of Graduated Driver Licensing policies, transportation equity, and driving outcomes of autistic drivers, older drivers, pedestrians, and other vulnerable populations. Numerous studies are underway.
