Proposed Project
School Associated Violent Death Surveillance System (0920-0604,
Expiration 1/31/2013)--Reinstatement with change--National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Violence Prevention (DVP), National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) proposes to maintain a system for
the surveillance of school-associated homicides and suicides; the
system relies on existing public records and interviews with law
enforcement officials and school officials. The purpose of the system
is to (1) estimate the rate of school-associated violent death in the
United States and (2) identify common features of school-associated
violent deaths. The system will contribute to the understanding of
fatal violence associated with schools, guide further research in the
area, and help direct ongoing and future prevention programs.
School-associated violent deaths (SAVD) is an ongoing surveillance
system that draws cases from the entire United States in attempting to
capture all cases of school-associated violent deaths that have
occurred. Investigators review public records and published press
reports concerning each school-associated violent death. For each
identified case, investigators also interview an investigating law
enforcement official (defined as a police officer, police chief, or
district attorney), and a school official (defined as a school
principal, school superintendent, school counselor, school teacher, or
school support staff) who are knowledgeable about the case in question.
Respondents will only be interviewed once. Researchers request
information on both the victim and alleged offender(s)--including
demographic data, their academic and criminal records, and their
relationship to one another. Data are also collected on the time and
location of the death; the circumstances, motive, and method of the
fatal injury; and the security and violence prevention activities in
the school and community where the death occurred, before and after the
fatal injury event.
The revisions to this data collection involve changes to the data
collection instruments that will enhance the scope or relevance of the
information previously collected, and changes that will reflect recent
advancements and developments in research addressing violence in school
settings. There has also been an additional measure added which will
further strengthen the data security processes.
There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are 70.
