Purpose • To discuss how CDC uses data • To show results from 1st 6 weeks • (June 1 – July 12, 2004; 521 cases) • To discuss problem areas or uncertainties • Intent (coding exercise)
Approximate ratio of Suicides to Non-fatal Self-Inflicted Injuries 1: 4 : 9 : ? Suicides 30,000 SII Admissions 129,000 SII ED Visits 265,000 Self-harm not treated – many more SII ED Visit data are from 2000, NEISS-AIP; SII Admissions data are from 1999, NIS-HCUP; Suicide data are from 2000, NCHS Vital Statistics
