This new site from the Centers for Disease Control allows researchers or public health professionals to search for customized injury-related mortality data. The national mortality database can be accessed in two ways. In the Injury Mortality Reports interface, users can select among several options to view injury deaths and death rates for specific injuries. In the Leading Causes of Death Reports interface, they can select among a number of modifiers to produce lists of injury-related deaths relative to the number of other leading causes of death in the United States or in individual states. Both offer data from 1981 to 1997. A FAQ and help file with information on the data, definitions, and references are also provided.
