Firearm Injury Surveillance Study, 1993-2000: [United States]
These data were collected using the National Electronic
Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), the primary data system of the
United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). CPSC began
operating NEISS in 1972 to monitor product-related injuries treated in
United States hospital emergency departments (EDs). In June 1992, the
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), within the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, established an interagency
agreement with CPSC to begin collecting data on nonfatal
firearm-related injuries to monitor the incidence and characteristics
of persons with nonfatal firearm-related injuries treated in United
States hospital EDs over time. This dataset represents all nonfatal
firearm-related injuries (i.e., injuries associated with
powder-charged guns) and all nonfatal BB and pellet gun-related
injuries reported through NEISS from 1993 through 2000. The cases
consist of initial ED visits for treatment of the injuries. Cases were
reported even if the patients subsequently died. Secondary visits and
transfers from other hospitals were excluded. Information is available
on injury diagnosis, firearm type, use of drugs or alcohol, criminal
incident, and locale of the incident. Demographic information includes
age, sex, and race of the injured person.
