Abstract: Advancing Violence Epidemiology in Real-Time (AVERT) data collection integrates, expands, and enhances previous data sharing efforts with public health departments initiated under the Firearm Injury Surveillance Through Emergency Rooms (FASTER) program (4), which provided funding for 10 jurisdictions to share firearm injury-related ED visit data with CDC. The goal of AVERT is to build on the FASTER program and provide funding to a minimum of 10 jurisdictions to share timely ED data for all firearm injuries (regardless of intent), other violence-related injuries, and mental health conditions. AVERT is made possible because the vast majority of the participating health departments are already rapidly collecting extensive data on ED visits in their jurisdiction and using these data for the identification of public health concerns, including flu, heat-related illness, and disaster-related health issues.
