School Associated Violent Deaths Surveillance System

This information collection is for SAVD surveillance of school-associated homicides and suicides. The purpose of the system is to (1) estimate the rate of school-associated violent death in the United States and (2) identify common features of school-associated violent deaths. The system will contribute to the understanding of fatal violence associated with schools, guide further research in the area, and help direct ongoing and future prevention programs. SAVD is an ongoing surveillance system that draws cases from the entire USA in attempting to capture all cases of school-associated violent deaths that have occurred.
