Recommended Framework for Presenting Injury Mortality Data
Resource: Recommended Framework for Presenting Injury Mortality Data
Host: CDC
What it is: “Public health researchers and other public health professionals are encouraged to adopt or adapt these groupings as a minimum framework for tabulating
injury deaths and death rates. For historical continuity, vital statistics programs will continue to use tabulation standards based on both the guidelines of the World Health Organization and derivative lists developed by CDC (NCHS) for presentation of national mortality statistics. The proposed framework can be used to supplement these tabulation standards by providing more detailed presentations of injury deaths and death rates, which are useful for making policy decisions and planning injury prevention activities.”
