Before beginning the Module 1 video, please review the following important notes to help orient your learning experience:
- In the video, references to “local" Child Death Review (CDR) teams should be understood as referring to county-level teams in Oregon.
- The video was produced from a national perspective, so some processes and terminology may not fully reflect Oregon-specific practice.
- The video indicates that the National Center for Fatality Review and Prevention is your first stop for support. In Oregon, teams may instead reach out to the Oregon State Child Death Review and Prevention program first, which can assist directly and help coordinate with the National Center as needed.
- Please be aware that the video includes difficult content related to child drownings. While no formal content warning appears in the video itself, we want to acknowledge that the material may be distressing for some viewers. You are encouraged to pause, take breaks, or step away if needed.
These notes are intended to help you contextualize the information presented in the video and understand how national guidance aligns with Oregon's county-level processes and the state's support structure.
