Description:Rev January 2021
This document contains a standardized set of variables for pesticide-related illness and injury. These standardized variables were developed through a collaboration that included experts from federal agencies (NIOSH, US EPA, NCEH), non-federal agencies (CSTE, AOEC) and state health departments or other state designees. The variables indicated as core variables for this condition are required from all NIOSH-funded surveillance programs. However, states are encouraged to provide data for all of the variables. The NIOSH core variable name is provided in bold, followed by the variable name in the SPIDER database system shown in parentheses. The data is best managed with a relational database structure. See the SPIDER Technical Manual for an example of database design.
The variable formats conform to CDC recommendations and to maintain consistency with available national data useful for rate calculation and comparisons (e.g., data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Bureau of the Census). Note that the recommended variable type (e.g. numeric, character) is included in this document.
Comments follow each variable, which explain the intended use of the variable. The comments also describe the discussion with state and federal agency partners during the development of the variables and coding schemes. Additional detail and clarification are available in the appendices that include a set of frequently asked questions (FAQ) document.
