Evaluation of Injury Surveillance Data
Injuries are serious public health problem. They are the leading cause of death for people aged 1 to 44. Surveillance systems are needed to track this burden. Understanding the strengths and weakness of surveillance systems aides in the research of injuries and emergency health services. This session presents information from several different surveillance systems.
Learning Objectives: Describe the various injury files available from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and how they can be linked for analysis. List methods of analyzing the multiple cause injury diagnosis data. Identify limitations of death certificate-based surveillance for TBI-related death.
