Collecting Violent Death Information Using the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS):




This annoucement supports the programmatic goals of collecting timely, integrated, and comprehensive information on homicides, suicides, deaths from legal intervention, deaths of undetermined intent, and unintentional firearm deaths in a targeted area to improve the planning, implementation, and evaluation of violence prevention programs. The National Violent Death Reporting System is the first system to: 1) provide detailed information on circumstances precipitating all types of violent deaths including brief narratives that summarize what happened in the violent death incident, 2) combine information across multiple data sources, and3) link multiple deaths that are related to one another (e.g., multiple victim homicides, suicide pacts, and cases of homicide followed by the suicide of the suspect).
