Second and third-semester students from the School of Public Health participated in a data collection as part of the project titled “Assessment of Road Safety Risk Factors in Karnataka State,” implemented by the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit. This was conducted in two phases. The first phase took place from March 2nd to 5th, 2024, and the second phase from August 26th to 29th, 2024, in the districts of Kodagu, Mysuru, Chamarajanagara, and Mandya. The project commenced with an in-person orientation session led by the NIMHANS project staff. The students, working in teams, collected data from pre-assigned locations, focusing on three key aspects of road safety: speeding, helmet use, and seatbelt use. This hands-on field experience provided valuable insights into real-world data collection processes. We extend our gratitude to Dr. Goutham M. Sukumar, MD, Additional Professor at NIMHANS, and Dr. Padma Saki, project staff, for offering our students this exceptional opportunity to contribute to such a significant project. We also thank Dr. Anil S Bilimale, Chief MPH Coordinator, for facilitating this experience for our students.
