NJ-SHO Center for Integrated Data

The New Jersey Safety & 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) with a guiding vision to reimagine 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 data sets that include safety and health data on 24 million NJ residents over a 17-year period (2004-2020). 

These data from the NJ-SHO Data Warehouse will be included in an interactive online data dashboard housed in a publicly accessible website that will launch in the spring of 2024. The dashboard will provide 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 New Jersey residents. For the first time, users will be able to 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 more than 45 peer-reviewed research papers using the NJ-SHO Data Warehouse, covering topics including Kyleigh's Law, Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) policies, road traffic safety, and transportation equity, and numerous studies are underway.
