Raising awareness of aggressive driving via a TikTok social media campaign

• We are excited to announce the beginning of the GW CIPC TikTok campaign to address aggressive driving in DC!

  1. raising awareness of aggressive driving, and

  2. making aggressive driving socially unacceptable

• Over the next two months, this public health campaign will release content on TikTok and we need your support in the following ways:

  • Watch our content!!  See our TikTok profile here: https://www.tiktok.com/@gwinjuryprevention
