A homicide has occurred in a community. To whom would this information need to be reported?
a. United States Public Health Service
b. World Health Organization (WHO)
c. Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC)
d. National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)
ANS: D
The NVDRS was initiated by the CDC in an effort to develop a national state-based surveillance system that could identify the cause and manner of death, leading to prevention efforts by pull-ing together data on violent deaths, unintentional firearm injury deaths, and deaths of undeter-mined intent. The United States Public Health Service and WHO have the goal of reducing inju-ry, but homicides are not reported to these organizations.
