Cost of Injury Reports

This application produces reports showing estimated costs associated with

• fatal injuries or
• nonfatal injuries

with injuries classified either by

• intent and mechanism of injury or
• body region and nature of injury.

Cost estimates can be calculated using system-provided data (built in to the application) or using a combination of system-provided data and data that you enter.

You can specify the following characteristics for cost estimates

• national, regional, or state-level geographic coverage for fatal injuries (estimates are always at the national level for nonfatal injuries)
• sex and age of injured persons
• type of cost (lifetime medical and/or lifetime work loss and/or both combined) and cost measure (total for all persons and/or average per person)
• indexing to U.S., regional, or state prices (depending on geographic coverage specified)
• indexing to prices for different calendar years (when using your own data).
