Foundations
for Drowning Surveillance Project
The Foundations for Child Drowning Surveillance
Project funded by the California Kids’ Plates Grant Program in 2008 was
designed to improve the quality and consistency of multi-agency
drowning surveillance in California. The project objectives were:
1) to develop and produce a comprehensive report on the state of
drowning surveillance in pools/spas among young children in Southern
California; 2) to create a “How To Handbook” illustrating
the necessary components for building successful multi-agency drowning
surveillance protocols at the local, county, and state level; and
3) to promote the adoption of standardized drowning surveillance
state-wide. Standardized drowning surveillance can be used to monitor
trends and identify risk and protective factors in order to set
priorities and guide drowning prevention policies and strategies.
