Spatial and Temporal Correlates of Specific Cause Mortality

修订后的项目摘要。 该项目将利用以前开发的资源，在美国建立两个专门的凶杀案数据库（2000-2018年）。这些专业凶杀数据将与几个独特的公共数据源合并，这些公共数据源收集有关当地犯罪统计数据、当地环境的其他衡量标准和社会人口普查数据的信息。然后，项目小组和其他研究人员可以使用这个专业数据库来测试某些类型的凶杀案的相关性。杀人是青少年和青年男子死亡的主要原因，因此是一个重大的公共卫生问题。该项目还将创建一个地理信息系统数据库，对某些类型的凶杀案进行地理编码，供其他研究人员研究这些凶杀案对人口健康、健康差距和社区福祉的独立影响。

Revised Project Summary. This project will create two specialty homicide databases in the United States (2000-2018) using resources previously developed. These specialty homicide data will be merged with several unique public data sources that collect information on local crime statistics, other measure of the local environment, and socio-demographic Census data. This specialty database can then be used by the project team and other researchers to test the correlates of certain types of homicides. Homicide is a major source of mortality for adolescent and young adult men and is therefore a major public health issue. This project will also create a GIS database which geo-codes certain types of homicides for other researchers to study the independent effect of these homicides on population health, health disparities, and community well-being.
