The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS):
Using and Understanding Suicide data
Thursday, July 18
12:00 PM – 1:30 PM Mountain time
REGISTER TODAY!
The National Violent Death System (NVDRS) Special Interest Group will be hosting its second webinar to introduce injury prevention professionals and other partners to using and understanding suicide data from NVDRS.
More than 38,000 people died from suicide in the United States in 2010. In any given year there are generally a third more suicides than homicides yet public perspective and media attention makes it seem that there are far more homicides. Combined with ongoing stigma, suicide deaths appear to be far removed from spotlight. Data from NVDRS has helped to turn the tide.
Created in 2002, the NVDRS is a surveillance system currently in 18 states that collects data on violent deaths including details about the circumstances of the deaths. The system includes information about child maltreatment (or child abuse) fatalities, intimate partner homicides, all other homicides, suicides, deaths where individuals are killed by law enforcement in the line of duty, unintentional firearm injury deaths, and deaths of undetermined intent.
This webinar will provide:
- An overview of the CDC NVDRS suicide prevention research;
- State examples of using VDRS suicide data and creating partnerships; and
- Example of academic and community partners using NVDRS suicide data.
