SUDORS Data Elements

NVDRS Variables Also Collected in SUDORS

There are no standard paper data collection forms to be used by states because states will be abstracting information from electronic or paper vital statistics or Coroner and Medical Examiner (CME) records into the CDC web-based data system. This is a list of data elements that NVDRS is already designed to collect and that will be collected by the SUDORS system for drug overdose deaths.
