NVDRS is a state-based surveillance
system that links data from law
enforcement, coroners and
medical examiners, vital statistics,
and crime laboratories to assist
participating states in designing
and implementing tailored
prevention and intervention
efforts. An incident-based,
relational database collects and
stores the data and is available
free of charge from the NVDRS
Web-based Injury Statistics Query
and Reporting System (WISQARS).
