The National Violence Prevention Network
is a broad coalition dedicated to building awareness for
the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) and
expanding the NVDRS to all 50 states, U.S. territories
and the District of Columbia.
Currently, NVDRS operates in 17 states. Eight additional
states, plus the District of Columbia, have been approved
for participation in NVDRS, but have not been funded: Connecticut,
Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio and
Texas. Many additional states and Puerto Rico continue to express
interest in joining NVDRS.
Two-thirds of the country still lacks NVDRS coverage, leaving
all but 17 states without the ability to learn about trends
in their state and share vital data that provides a clear
direction for violence prevention policies.
