In Canada, one of the leading causes of death due to unintentional injury is motor vehicle collisions (PHAC, 2013). Compared to all other ages, youth aged 16-24 have a higher risk of dying in a car crash per kilometer driven (Transport Canada, 2011). In 2017, the death toll in the 15-24 year old age group increased by 63% compared to 2016 and this is expected to continue to rise with the legalization of marijuana (SAAQ, 2018).

Is the Thrill Worth It? is a 2-part interactive program developed by the Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital Trauma Centre鈥檚 Injury Prevention Program targeting secondary IV and V students.

Part 1: Student Leadership in Injury Prevention Program (SLIPP) team is formed within each of the participating schools tasked to create a year-long awareness campaign on assorted important road safety topics.

Part 2: An interactive presentation for senior students given by Trauma Centre staff. The presentation focuses on risk factors associated with car crashes, strategies to manage challenging situations, and the implications of alcohol and cannabis abuse.

The 2-part nature of the Program allows the students to not only learn about risks related to driving, but also to take ownership of the message, which is consistently reinforced through different creative initiatives throughout the school year. By using peer leaders and having the messages conveyed in an ongoing manner, the Is the Thrill Worth It? Program has the potential to create a larger social change within individual school communities and impact the road safety behaviours of the students.

Is the Thrill Worth It? is designed to expose students to risk factors and encourage them to make informed choices with regards to responsible driving. The specific topics covered in this program include:

a. Distracted driving
b. Impaired driving
c. Fatigue
d. Speeding
e. Seatbelt-use
f. Adolescents and cannabis-use
g. Alcohol intoxication

Is the Thrill Worth It? aims to promote student confidence and resilience in dealing with risky behaviours. The Program is designed to promote reflection and critical thinking while encouraging the students to develop concrete strategies to deal with challenging driving scenarios, ultimately making them better prepared to cope.

In 2020 concussions are identified as a health issue of significant societal concern. As such, they are of great interest to the medical, sports, educational, and scientific communities. The Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital developed the first Pediatric and Adolescent Neurotrauma Program in Quebec and Canada in 1989. In the late 90鈥檚 we became pioneers in the field of Concussion acknowledging the important issues in youth pertaining to this new field of TBI. Our innovative inter-professional Concussion Clinic has been recognized as a model for care since its development in 2007. Over the past 25 years Trauma Specialists at the Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital Trauma Centre, 缅北强奸 Health Centre have been leaders in this area, developing and implementing an innovative, comprehensive, proactive, inter-professional approach to the management of concussions in youth. The approach to care is in keeping with the most recent evidence and based on extensive clinical expertise. Additionally our clinical and research arms of our program are closely linked as is our knowledge diffusion, and primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies. In our Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Program with its Inter-professional Concussion Clinic we combine our trauma knowledge and expertise with injury prevention strategies, and apply it to the composite life of a child or teen at school, play, and at home.

The team consists of Trauma Coordinators, Administrative Coordinator, Physiotherapists, Psychologists, Neuropsychologists, Physician Consultants (i.e. ED, Neurology, ENT, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, and others), a Clinician Research Scientist, research assistants, and other rehabilitation and psychosocial consultants as needed for the specific patient and family. Over 900 patients are referred annually from our Emergency Department, Regional Centres, Adult Trauma Centres, and Community Physicians. There are>4000 patient visits annually with an emphasis on providing early proactive intervention, expert guidance, activity management, return to school and return to sport & other activity recommendations, guidance for teachers, coaches, and parents.

The MCH Trauma Centre took a national and provincial leadership role in alerting the public to the risks of ingestion of edible cannabis in children following an increase in the number of cases treated in our Centre. Subsequently, the Quebec Ministry of Health responded by banning the production and sale of cannabis edibles that are enticing to children. A priority of this media campaign by our Trauma Centre was to educate the public that legalization of cannabis does not make for safe consumption by children. Recommendations were provided.
