Abstract: This is a revision request for the currently approved National Violent Death Reporting System. Violence is a major public health problem. The World Health Organization has estimated that 815,000 suicides and 520,000 homicides occurred in the year 2000 worldwide. Violence against others or oneself is a major public health problem in the United States, taking 50,000 lives each year. It is a particular problem for the young: homicide was second and suicide was third among leading causes of death for Americans 1-34 years of age in 2006. Aware of the longstanding gap in information about violence, public health leaders and others have been pressing the need for a national surveillance system for violent deaths since 1989. In 1999, the Institute of Medicine recommended that CDC develop a fatal intentional injury surveillance system modeled after FARS. That same year, six private foundations pooled their funds to demonstrate that data collection about violent deaths was feasible and useful. They established the National Violent Injury Statistics System (NVISS). NVISS has been administered by the Harvard Injury Control Research Center and includes 12 participating universities, health departments, and medical centers. In 2000, dozens of medical associations, suicide prevention groups, child protection advocates, and family violence prevention organizations joined a coalition whose purpose was to secure federal funding to extend NVISS-like surveillance nationwide. Congress approved $1.5 million in funding to start the new system, called the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), in fiscal year 2002.
