Ateequr Rahman, PhD, professor and director of research for the College of Pharmacy, led a study of CDC data that found teenagers suffered the most fatalities in vehicle crashes.

A team of four RFU researchers has been working to address the issue: Kirstin Krzyzewski, PharmD ’23; Neishka Ramirez Corchado, COP ’25; Lejla Cukovic, PharmD ’23; and Ateequr Rahman, PhD, who is a professor in and director of research for the College of Pharmacy. Their main objective was to determine if there were patterns that could make sense of the larger problem. They began by analyzing the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey — data collected by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This research is the foundation for their article published in the May 2023 Journal of Medical - Clinical Research & Reviews, “Assessment of National Trauma Trends for Motor Vehicle Accidents.”
