The Core Team is grateful for the overwhelming interest that students and universities from across the UAE showed in reducing the number of road traffic incidents among youth in the UAE.

The teams at PHTT 2016 created a remarkable range of interventions to reduce road traffic incidents among youth in the UAE. Take a look at their abstracts and presentation slides!

On Day One, the participants received lectures on the prevalence of road traffic incidents in the UAE, how to design a successful public health action plan, and an overview of different intervention strategies that have been attempted in the past. Take a look at the speakers’ slides!

On the second day of PHTT 2016, the participants received public speaking and presentation training, finished the remaining work on their interventions, and presented them in front of a panel of judges.

The first day of PHTT featured a range of speakers who introduced delegates to traffic incident prevention and a useful framework for developing their interventions.
