Put it Down Campaign

This spring, high school students in Sioux County got the message, “Put it Down”.  Community Health Partners, the Iowa State Patrol, and the Sioux County Sheriff’s Office developed the “Put it Down” campaign to educate the public about the dangers of distracted driving, with a particular focus on teen drivers, knowing that motor vehicle injuries (MVI) is the leading cause of death for persons below the age of 35.   The idea for the campaign began after Community Health Partners completed the county Community Health Needs Assessment and Health Improvement Plan and identified that Sioux County experiences a disproportionately high number of deaths in the county caused by motor vehicle injuries.
