Terms of Clearance: NCIPC’s NVDRS and SUDORS programs will continue to collaborate with NCHS’ NCVS to share knowledge and optimize investments associated with collecting data from state CMEs. The goal of this collaboration is to a) reduce duplicative reporting of the same data by States to different components of CDC; b) to improve the quality and timeliness of CME data to CDC (e.g., by increasing electronic interoperability of CME case management systems and public health reporting systems); and c) to maximize the value of the data being reported.

Abstract: The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) collects information for surveillance to monitor the occurrence of violent deaths in the U.S. at the national, state, and local levels. Data is used to understand magnitude, trends, and characteristics of violent death and what factors protect people or put them at risk for experiencing violence. This revision includes updates to the web-based system, edits to the coding manual, increases in burden due to increases in violent deaths in the US, and a decrease in health department respondents.
