Description:This manual was created to guide states and U.S. territories in collecting, preparing, and submitting injury surveillance data. All states and U.S. territories are eligible to voluntarily submit data.
Information obtained from participants will be reviewed and assembled for inclusion in in various State Injury Indicators products. This process provides state and U.S. territory injury programs with a standardized method for evaluating injury data and for producing an injury indicator data product that is comparable across states and U.S. territories.
This manual provides straightforward information to encourage participation of all states and U.S. territories regardless of their epidemiologic infrastructure and capabilities. Participation in this report should not be seen as limiting by states of higher capacity, but rather as a place of commonality and a starting point for developing more sophisticated analyses.
The process of preparing indicators is simplified in that it doesn’t include the merging and unduplicating of cases found in multiple data sets. It is important to keep in mind that the quality of the injury indicators is dependent on the completeness and accuracy of external-cause-of-injury coding found within individual state and U.S. territory data sets.
