A research opportunity is currently available with the Division of Violence Prevention (DVP) within the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) located in Atlanta, Georgia.
Violence is a serious public health problem, affecting people throughout the life course. Through its programs and initiatives, DVP supports national organizations, state and local health agencies, and other partners to develop, implement, and promote effective violence prevention and control practices. DVP's strategic priorities are to:
This fellowship opportunity involves the fellow gaining experience with assessing the feasibility of homicide sentinel surveillance, an area of inquiry of DVP's Surveillance Branch.
Regarding current nationwide homicide surveillance, DVP's Surveillance Branch operates the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). NVDRS is a system that collects information on all manners of violent deaths — including suicides and homicides — in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. NVDRS covers deaths in all settings and for all age groups. NVDRS includes data from the death certificate, coroner and medical examiner reports as well as law enforcement reports on over 600 unique data elements, including circumstance data that provide valuable context about violent deaths such as relationship problems; mental health problems and treatment; toxicology results; and life stressors, including recent problems with a job, finances, or physical health problems. Extensive information about the incidents, such as weapons used, characteristics of suspects, and locations where they occurred are included. Such data are far more comprehensive than what is available elsewhere. NVDRS is the only state-based surveillance (reporting) system that pools data on violent deaths from multiple sources into a usable, anonymous database.
Nevertheless, there is a gap in the surveillance of firearm homicides. Law enforcement data lags the other sources included in the NVDRS as these data can be harder and take longer to abstract. Some law enforcement agencies in some states require cases to be adjudicated (which can take years) before data are shared with the system. As a result, routine NVDRS data take approximately two years after the close of the data year to be made available to the public.
It is possible to complement this valuable data source with more timely data currently available on homicides. DVP would like to explore the potential of a sentinel surveillance system made up of a set of cities and rural areas across the country to gather publicly available data on homicides in order to obtain more timely data for informing local decision making. The data have the potential to provide early awareness of emerging trends in homicide.
This training opportunity involves learning experiences for the participant relevant to homicide surveillance. Under the guidance of a mentor and in collaboration with the NCIPC Offices of Strategy and Innovation and Informatics, the participant will:
