目的介绍美国国家暴力死亡报告系统(NVDRS)。这是一个监视系统,用于监视凶杀、自杀、非故意枪支死亡、未确定意图的死亡以及法律的干预造成的死亡的发生(不包括法律的执行)在美国。设计本报告提供了有关NVDRS的历史、范围、数据变量、过程、效用、限制和未来方向的信息。结果NVDRS目前在32个州运行,目标是未来扩展到所有50个州、哥伦比亚特区和美国领土。该系统使用现有的主要数据源(死亡证明、验尸官/法医报告和执法报告),并将它们链接在一起,以提供围绕暴力死亡的情况的全面画面。结论本报告提供了NVDRS的概述,包括对系统的描述,其扩展能力的讨论,随着系统的发展而使用的新技术,如何将数据用于预防暴力的工作,以及未来的方向。
Objective To describe the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). This is a surveillance system for monitoring the occurrence of homicides, suicides, unintentional firearm deaths, deaths of undetermined intent, and deaths from legal intervention (excluding legal executions) in the US.Design This report provides information about the history, scope, data variables, processes, utility, limitations, and future directions of the NVDRS.Results The NVDRS currently operates in 32 states, with the goal of future expansion to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and US territories. The system uses existing primary data sources (death certificates, coroner/medical examiner reports, and law enforcement reports), and links them together to provide a comprehensive picture of the circumstances surrounding violent deaths.Conclusions This report provides an overview of the NVDRS including a description of the system, discussion of its expanded capability, the use of new technologies as the system has evolved, how the data are being used for violence prevention efforts, and future directions.
