Objective:
To Apply the PAPM and Diffusion Theory for building a statewide coroner investigation system to further violent death prevention efforts.
Methods:
By utilizing a theoretically based framework and systematically tracking stage progression, individual agencies and/or state systems can replicate and sustain the process.
Results:
Through the incorporation of the combined models, 82 of Kentucky's 120 coroner offices currently collect the same information-no replicate information existed 4 years ago.
Conclusion:
This study demonstrates the utility of theory as a foundation for encouraging adoption of innovation and shows an effective way to coordinate information in a timely manner with limited cost.

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the 20th century...
