The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) collects information for surveillance to monitor the occurrence of violent deaths in the U.S. at the national, state, and local levels. Data is used to understand magnitude, trends, and characteristics of violent death and what factors protect people or put them at risk for experiencing violence. This revision includes 1) implementing updates to the web-based system to improve performance, functionality, and accessibility, 2) adding new data elements to the system, and 3) making minimal revisions to the NVDRS Coding Manual. There are no changes to the burden.
