National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) Series
Description
In 1992, the National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), a unit of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), established an interagency agreement with the
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)to begin collecting data
on nonfatal firearm-related injuries by using the National Electronic
Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), the primary data system of CPSC.
This ongoing special study is commonly called the "CDC Firearm Injury
Surveillance Study". These data provide the basis for national
estimates of nonfatal firearm-related injuries and nonfatal BB/pellet
gun-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments in the
United States. Beginning in July 2000, NCIPC, in collaboration with
CPSC, expanded NEISS to collect data on all types and causes of
injuries treated in a representative sample of hospitals. This system
is called the "NEISS All Injury Program (NEISS AIP)". These data
provide the basis for national estimates of all types of nonfatal
injuries treated in hospital emergency departments in the United
States.
