The authors thank the CDC National Violent Death Reporting System for providing the data for this study. This research uses data from the NVDRS, a surveillance system designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. The findings are based, in part, on the contributions of 16 of the 17 funded states that collected violent death data and the contributions of the states' partners, including personnel from law enforcement, vital records, medical examiners or coroners, and crime laboratories. The analyses, results, and conclusions presented here represent those of the authors and not necessarily those of CDC. Persons interested in obtaining data files from NVDRS should contact CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 4,770 Buford Hwy, NE, MS F-63, Atlanta, GA 30341-3717, (800) CDC-INFO (232-4,636).
