wrote the authors of the study, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/injuryprevention.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2025\/05\/13\/ip-2024-045597.info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">published<\/a> this week in the Injury Prevention journal.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers aimed to estimate the number of deaths each year caused by two factors: inadequate fencing to prevent young children from wandering into swimming pools and Americans not wearing a life jacket while boating.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Out of 4,509 drowning deaths reported in 2022, the CDC&#8217;s modeling found that 51 likely could have been prevented by better pool fencing, and 297 could have been prevented by victims wearing a life jacket during a boating accident.<\/p>\n<p>That adds up to thousands of dollars in medical spending and an economic cost to the country of $4.5 billion, the CDC researchers estimated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Increased adherence to adequate pool fencing and always wearing a life jacket while boating could avert a substantial number of deaths and enormous economic cost each year in the USA,&#8221; the authors wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC did not respond to a request for an interview about the new study.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers behind the study had worked for the agency&#8217;s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, which had been responsible for the federal government&#8217;s work studying drowning prevention and other leading causes of injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The CDC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/drowning\/pdf\/CDC-DIP_At-a-Glance_Drowning_508.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">drowning prevention<\/a> researchers were among the teams that were entirely eliminated at the agency&#8217;s injury center, multiple officials said, alongside staff responsible for the federal government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/sexual-violence\/programs\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">rape prevention program<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/traumatic-brain-injury\/publications\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">traumatic brain injury<\/a> research and <a href=\"https:\/\/wisqars.cdc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">database<\/a> on injuries ranging from suicides to accidents.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s layoffs mean, as one laid-off CDC employee described on the condition of anonymity, that all of the center&#8217;s &#8220;economists, statisticians, and programmers who do the sometimes inglorious grinding technical work needed to inform the public accurately about critical issues related to injuries and violence&#8221; will be let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only a handful of studies remain in the pipeline from the agency&#8217;s injury prevention researchers that had been authored before layoff notices were delivered on April 1, the employee said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The center&#8217;s remaining staff are expected to be among those merged into the new Administration for a Healthy America agency created by Health and Human Services Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/tag\/robert-f-kennedy-jr\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Robert F.
