WISQARS Update: Drug Poisoning and Non-drug Poisoning Death Counts and Rates Now Available
The Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS) is an interactive, online database that provides fatal and nonfatal injury data from a variety of sources. Researchers, practitioners, the media, and the general public can use WISQARS data to learn more about the public health and economic burden of injury in the United States. Users can search, sort, and view the injury data and create reports, charts, maps, and slides.
The WISQARS Fatal Injury Reports Module provides injury-related deaths counts and death rates per 100,000 population by specific causes of injury mortality and common causes of death. CDC has recently updated the interface of the Fatal Injury Reports Module so that users can access death counts and rates for drug poisonings and non-drug poisonings for the United States and for individual states. These data are now available online.

Welcome to WISQARSTM
WISQARSTM (Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System) is an interactive database system that provides customized reports of injury-related data. Learn more about WISQARSTM >>NOTE TO USERS: In September, 2012, the Nonfatal Injury Reports module was updated with new national-level population estimates based on recently released bridged-race intercensal estimates of the July 1, 2001-July 1, 2009 and April 1, 2010 resident population of the United States. See U.S. Census Populations With Bridged Race Categories (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/bridged_race.htm). On November 28, 2012, the Fatal Injury Reports and Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) were updated with new national and state-level intercensal population estimates, which recently became available. Similarly, on December 17, 2012, Violent Death (NVDRS) Reports was also updated with these new state-level population estimates. Crude and age-adjusted death and YPLL rates computed using these revised population estimates may differ from those based on the previous bridged-race postcensal population estimates for 2001-2009, especially with respect to race and Hispanic origin.

New! Cost of Injury Reports
Motor Vehicle Traffic Deaths and Estimated Lifetime Medical Costs, by Sex, 2005
WISQARS™ provides cost estimates for injury deaths (including violent deaths) and nonfatal injuries where the patient was treated and released from a hospital or ED. Mapping Module
The map to the right shows geospatially smoothed, age-adjusted motor vehicle traffic death rates by county (highest rates are shown in brown). Motor vehicle traffic death rates were generally higher in rural areas in the United States from 2004 to 2010.
