Injury Data and Resources

• ICE on Injury Statistics
• The International Collaborative Effort (ICE)
  on Injury Statistics is one of several
  international activities sponsored by CDCs NCHS.
  The goal is to provide a forum for international
  exchange and collaboration among injury
  researchers who develop and promote international
  standards in injury data collection and analysis.
  A secondary goal is to produce products of the
  highest quality to facilitate the comparability
  and improved quality of injury data.
