Description:About 3 million people are injured in motor vehicle crashes every year in the United States.
Understanding the risk and protective factors in a crash can help prevent injuries and deaths and reduce related costs. Linking existing data sources such as police, hospital, and emergency medical service (EMS) records is one way to better understand motor vehicle crashes. These data sets are generally collected and stored separately. Linking these data creates a more complete picture of what happens before, during, and after a crash. This can help states and communities target prevention efforts.
