| A prototype for the CDC’s National Violent Death Reporting System is being piloted by twelve state and local organizations across the country as a step toward establishing a national surveillance system for all suicides and homicides and for firearm-related deaths. This session summarizes the effort to pilot test and establish this national reporting system for violent deaths. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1. Articulate the basic objectives and methods of sites that are piloting a prototype for the National Violent Death Reporting System 2. List three examples of how the NVDRS provides policy-relevant information about violent deaths not provided by existing sources of national data. 3. Quantify the extent to which unintentional shooting deaths of one person by another are classified as "homicides" not "accidents" on the death certificate. 4. List three ways in which, according to the pilot data, violent deaths perpetrated with a firearm differ from those perpetrated by other means. | |||
