FOREWORD

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s National Center

for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is pleased to provide this fifth

edition of the “State Injury Indicators Report” featuring 2006 data. We

hope state public health officials and others will find the surveillance

data presented in this report useful in making decisions about prevention

efforts to reduce the burden of injury in the United States.

The methods used to prepare these data are consistent with those used

in previous cycles of injury indicator data collection. They are based

on recommendations presented in the “Consensus Recommendations

for Using Hospital Discharge Data for Injury Surveillance” and from the

National Public Health Surveillance System indicators developed by the

Safe States Alliance (formerly known as the State and Territorial Injury

Prevention Directors Association) and the Council of State and Territorial

Epidemiologists. With partner feedback and updated consensus

recommendations, CDC continuously modifies the instructions and

methods used to prepare these data. The 2006 data collection cycle had

no changes from the 2005 cycle.

Thirty-six states submitted data either as a part of CDC Program

Announcement 05027 or voluntarily. As more states and U.S. territories

participate in this surveillance effort, a broader picture of the burden of

injuries can be presented and priorities for prevention can be targeted.

NCIPC looks forward to continuing its work with partners to advance and

improve injury surveillance using state-based data on fatal and nonfatal

injuries.

INTRODUCTION

Surveillance is one of the critical and basic elements of injury

prevention and control. It helps determine the magnitude of injury

morbidity and mortality, the leading causes of injury, and the population

groups and behaviors associated with the greatest risk of injury.

Surveillance data are also fundamental to determining program and

prevention priorities. Furthermore, these data are crucial for evaluating

the effectiveness of program activities and for identifying problems that

need further investigation.

Injury continues to be the leading cause of death and disability among

children and young adults.1 In 2006, approximately 179,000 people

died from injuries in the United States: 24% of the injuries were from

motor vehicle traffic crashes, 19% were from suicide, and 10% were

from homicide.1 In addition, in 2006 more than 29.8 million people were

treated for injuries in U.S. emergency departments.1 The economic

burden of injuries is also significant. Fifty million injuries were treated

in 2000, costing an estimated $406 billion in medical expenses and

productivity losses.2

The mission of public health includes prevention, mitigation,

optimization of access to treatment, and reduction of injury-related

disability and death.3 The scope of public health encompasses

injuries—both intentional and unintentional—involving any mechanism

(e.g., firearm, motor vehicle, or burn). An important part of the public

health mission is to emphasize that injuries are preventable and to

dispel the misconception that they are unavoidable.

The Safe States Alliance, formerly known as the State and Territorial

Injury Prevention Directors Association (STIPDA), recognized the

need for more comprehensive injury surveillance data and produced

“Consensus Recommendations for Injury Surveillance in State Health

Departments” in 1999,4 which was updated in 2007.5

These recommendations were developed by a working group

representing STIPDA, the Council of State and Territorial

Epidemiologists (CSTE), the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention and its National Center for Injury Prevention and Control

(NCIPC), and the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury

Research.

These state health department consensus recommendations

identified 14 specific injuries and injury risk factors to be placed under

surveillance by all states and 11 data sets to be used to monitor these

injuries and risk factors.4 The goal is to improve state-based injury

surveillance to better support injury prevention programs and policies.

The integration of state-based injury surveillance with overall public

health surveillance as part of the National Public Health Surveillance

System (NPHSS) will be much easier as the methods used to track fatal

and nonfatal injuries at the state level are enhanced and standardized.6

With these state health department consensus recommendations,

CSTE and STIPDA developed injury indicators that were formally

adopted by NPHSS.7, 8 The NPHSS injury indicators add to others

developed by CSTE for chronic diseases and other areas.7


“Consensus Recommendations for Using Hospital Discharge Data

for Injury Surveillance,” published in 2003, has provided clear and

specific guidelines about evaluating and using hospital discharge data.9

It presents important considerations for assessing data quality and

outlines the methods for developing an injury hospitalization data set.

In addition, the “Consensus Recommendations for Surveillance of Falls

and Fall-related Injuries,” published in 2006, recommends including

criteria for three fall indicators.10

The STIPDA and CSTE documents laid the foundation for collecting

and disseminating the injury indicators in this report. This report is the

culmination of the collaborative process of building strong state-based

injury surveillance that can be compared among jurisdictions.


Methods

The data presented in this report are drawn from:

▪ state vital statistics records

▪ state hospital discharge data (HDD)

▪ the National Center for Health Statistics’ National Vital Statistics

System (NVSS)

▪ the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Healthcare Cost

and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS)

▪ the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)

▪ the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis

Reporting System (FARS)

The methods used to prepare this report are fully delineated in the

companion publication, “State Injury Indicators: Instructions for

Preparing 2006 Data.”11 In brief, injury hospitalization cases were

identified from state-based HDD by using the principal diagnosis (or

first-listed International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision-

Clinical Modifications [ICD-9-CM] diagnosis code) with other selective

factors. Injury deaths were identified from vital statistics by using

the International Classification of Diseases-Tenth Revision (ICD-

10) underlying-cause-of-death codes. All multiple-cause-of-death

fields were searched for the fatal traumatic brain injury indicator. For

comparison purposes, national rates for the fatality indicators were

generated by using the NVSS. National rates for the hospitalization

indicators were generated by using the NIS. The national rates include

data for all 50 states and not just the 36 states that submitted data.

The following ICD-1012 and ICD-9-CM13 code groupings were used to

identify cases of injury-related death and hospitalizations, respectively.

For the BRFSS data, weighted percentages were generated by state

by using the 2006 public-use data file for the questions of interest.14

Alcohol-related crash death rates were calculated by state by dividing

the number of alcohol-related crash deaths from FARS data by the

state population.15 An alcohol-related crash death is defined as a

death due to a motor vehicle traffic crash where either the driver or a

nonoccupant (e.g., pedestrian) had a blood alcohol concentration of

0.01 g/dL or higher.

Hospital Discharge Data Quality

The quality and completeness of hospital discharge data are affected

by such factors as the completeness of external-cause-of-injury coding

and the inclusion or exclusion of residents in out-of-state hospitals.

Both incomplete external-cause-of-injury coding and the loss of state

residents treated in out-of-state hospitals decrease the number of cases

that can be identified and result in the erroneous reporting of lower

rates. Readers should consider the representativeness of data from

individual state hospital discharge data systems when interpreting rates

based on hospital discharge data as a whole.

For 2006, hospital discharge data with external cause coding ranged

from 53% to 100% (Table A).

Eighty-two percent of the reporting states have more than 80% of their

hospitalization data external-cause-of-injury coded; this percentage

is lower than the 94% of the states in the third edition of this report

and similar to the 84% of the states in the fourth edition. The number

of states with more than 90% of hospitalization data external-cause-

of-injury coded is 71%, which is higher than the 66% of states having

more than 90% coded in the third edition16 and the 58% of states having

more than 90% coded in the fourth edition.17

Highlights

The injury indicator data presented here provide a unique, state-specific

look at the magnitude of 10 injury topics. Using state-specific data

sets and the agreed-upon methodology allows for comparing findings

both within indicators and among states. The magnitude and impact of

the various causes of injury can be compared within states. Interstate

comparisons also become possible as the completeness of reporting

and external-cause-of-injury data continues to improve.

The 36 reporting states are geographically diverse and represent both

urban and rural areas. The population of these 36 states represents

79% of the total U.S. population. These states, when considered

together, provide an overview of injury in each of the injury indicator

topics.

Limitations and Future Efforts

Although this report provides important information for understanding

injury, the following limitations should be considered:

▪ Only injuries severe enough to lead to either hospitalization or death

are reported. Injuries that lead to emergency department or physician

office visits or that remain untreated need to be accounted for if the

total burden of injury is to be understood

▪ Not all causes of injury have been included in this report

▪ Not all states and territories are represented in this report

▪ Quality and completeness of external-cause-of-injury coding continue

to be incomplete

Future editions of the “State Injury Indicators Report” will strive to

address these limitations. NCIPC, the Safe States Alliance, and CSTE,

in conjunction with participating states, will continue to refine current

indicators and define new ones for inclusion in future editions of this

report. The incorporation of emergency department data into future

editions is under exploration and consideration. Finally, submission of

data from additional states and territories is encouraged and welcomed.

ALL INJURY INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of injury fatalities ranged from 35.0

(New York) to 94.4 (New Mexico) per 100,000 persons (Figure 1a).

The second highest rate of fatalities occurred in Montana (81.6 per

100,000 persons), followed by Tennessee (79.5 per 100,000 persons).

The national rate for injury fatalities was 58.9 per 100,000 persons. This

figure represents an increase from the 2005 national rate of 57.8.

The sex-specific state rates of injury fatalities ranged from 52.7 (New

York) to 134.1 (New Mexico) among males and from 19.0 (New York)

to 56.0 (New Mexico) among females (Figure 1b). The national rate

for injury fatalities was 85.6 per 100,000 persons among males and

33.8 per 100,000 persons among females. The state rates were always

higher among males than females. Rates varied from 2.0 times higher

(Utah) to 3.0 times higher (Maryland) among males than females.

Among the reporting states, the highest injury fatality rates were among

people aged 85 years or older, with a range of 199.7 (New York) to

606.1 (Vermont) per 100,000 persons (Figure 1c). The lowest injury

fatality rates were among people aged 5 to 14 years, with a range of too

few cases to report to 15.2 (Oklahoma) per 100,000 persons.

The individual state rates of hospitalizations for all injuries ranged from

401.1 (New Hampshire) to 713.6 (Pennsylvania) per 100,000 persons

(Figure 1d). The second highest rate of hospitalizations occurred

in Oklahoma (662.9 per 100,000 persons), followed by Tennessee

(656.6 per 100,000 persons). The national rate for hospitalizations for

all injuries was 613.1 per 100,000 persons. This figure represents an

increase from the 2005 national rate of 605.3. The state with the lowest

rate (New Hampshire) had an external cause completeness percentage

of 98.9%. The state with the highest rate (Pennsylvania) had an

external cause completeness percentage of 97.3%.

The sex-specific state rates of hospitalizations for all injuries ranged

from 382.8 (New Hampshire) to 791.5 (Pennsylvania) among males

and from 359.4 (Hawaii) to 619.7 (Oklahoma) among females (Figure

1e). The national rate for hospitalizations for all injuries was 652.9 per

100,000 persons among males and 544.9 per 100,000 persons among

females. The state rates were higher among males except in Nebraska

and New Hampshire. Rates varied from 1.1 times higher among

females (Nebraska) to 1.4 times higher among males (Hawaii). Kansas

and Kentucky had similar rates for males and females.

Among the reporting states, rates varied by age. The highest rates

of hospitalizations for all injuries were among people aged 85 years

or older, ranging from 3,597.7 (Hawaii) to 6,462.8 (Pennsylvania) per

100,000 persons (Figure 1f). The lowest rates of hospitalizations for all

injuries were among people aged 5 to 14 years, ranging from 78.5 (New

Hampshire) to 221.2 (Pennsylvania) per 100,000 persons.

DROWNING INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of unintentional drowning fatalities

ranged from too few cases to report (Montana, Nebraska, Rhode

Island, and Vermont) to 2.4 (Florida) per 100,000 persons (Figure

2a). The second highest rate of fatalities occurred in Hawaii (2.2 per

100,000 persons), followed by Louisiana and Oregon (both 2.1 per

100,000 persons). The national rate for unintentional drowning fatalities

was 1.3 per 100,000 persons. This figure did not change from the 2005

national rate.

The sex-specific state rates of unintentional drowning fatalities ranged

from too few cases to report to 4.1 (Hawaii) among males and from

too few cases to report to 1.0 (Washington) among females (Figure

2b). The national rate for unintentional drowning fatalities was 2.1 per


females. The state rates were always higher among males than

females.

Among the reporting states, the unintentional drowning fatality rates

were similar in all age ranges (Figure 2c).

The individual state rates of unintentional drowning hospitalizations

ranged from too few cases to report (Arkansas, Connecticut, Kentucky,

Maine, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode

Island, and Vermont) to 3.1 (Hawaii) per 100,000 persons (Figure

2d). The second highest rate of hospitalizations occurred in Florida

(2.1 per 100,000 persons), followed by California and Kansas (both

with 1.3 per 100,000 persons). The national rate for unintentional

drowning hospitalizations was 0.9 per 100,000 persons. This figure

represents a decrease from the 2005 national rate of 1.1 per 100,000

persons. States with the lowest rates had a range of completeness of

external cause coding of 69.5% (New Mexico), 77.4% (Nevada), 78.8%

(Kentucky), 92.5% (Maine), 92.7% (Connecticut), 94.9% (Nebraska),

96.4% (Arkansas), 98.2% (Vermont), 98.9% (New Hampshire), and

99.1% (Rhode Island). The state with the highest rate (Hawaii) had an


The sex-specific state rates of unintentional drowning hospitalizations

ranged from too few cases to report to 3.7 (Hawaii) among males and

from too few cases to report to 1.2 (Florida) among females (Figure

2e). The national rate for unintentional drowning hospitalizations was

1.3 per 100,000 persons among males and 0.6 per 100,000 persons

among females. The state rates were always higher among males than

females.

Among the reporting states, rates varied by age. The highest

unintentional drowning hospitalization rates were among people aged

0 to 14 years, ranging from too few cases to report to 6.8 per 100,000

persons (Florida) (Figure 2f).

FALL INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of unintentional fall-related fatalities

ranged from 3.9 (Louisiana) to 14.6 (New Mexico) per 100,000 persons

(Figure 3a). The second highest rate of fatalities occurred in Wisconsin

(14.0 per 100,000 persons), followed by Vermont (12.7 per 100,000

persons). The national rate for unintentional fall-related fatalities was

6.6 per 100,000 persons. This figure represents an increase from the

2005 national rate of 6.4.

The sex-specific state rates of unintentional fall-related fatalities ranged

from 5.7 (Louisiana) to 16.8 (Wisconsin) among males and from 2.6

(Louisiana) to 13.1 (New Mexico) among females (Figure 3b). The

national rate for unintentional fall-related fatalities was 8.6 per 100,000

persons among males and 5.1 per 100,000 persons among females.

The state rates were always higher among males than females. Rates

varied from 1.2 times higher (New Mexico and Vermont) to 2.4 times

higher (Maine) among males than females.

Among the reporting states, the highest unintentional fall-related fatality

rates were among people aged 45 years or older, with a range of 9.7

(Louisiana) to 40.1 (Wisconsin) per 100,000 (Figure 3c).

The individual state rates of unintentional fall-related hospitalizations

ranged from 123.2 (Illinois) to 304.8 (Pennsylvania) per 100,000

persons (Figure 3d). The second highest rate of hospitalizations

occurred in Colorado (295.1 per 100,000 persons), followed by

Massachusetts (278.9 per 100,000 persons). The national rate for

unintentional fall-related hospitalizations was 235.2 per 100,000

persons. This figure represents a decrease from the 2005 national rate

of 239.4. The state with the lowest rate (Illinois) had an external cause

completeness percentage of 53.2%. The state with the highest rate

(Pennsylvania) had an external cause completeness percentage of

97.3%.

The sex-specific state rates of unintentional fall-related hospitalizations

ranged from 105.4 (Illinois) to 270.2 (Pennsylvania) among males and

from 130.7 (Illinois) to 318.1 (Pennsylvania) among females (Figure

3e). The national rate for unintentional fall-related hospitalizations

was 197.4 per 100,000 persons among males and 252.5 per 100,000

persons among females. The state rates were always higher among

females than males. Rates varied from 1.1 times higher (Hawaii) to 1.5

times higher (Arkansas, Kentucky, and Nebraska) among females than

males.


unintentional fall-related hospitalization rates were among people

aged 85 years or older, ranging from 1,866.4 (New Mexico) to 5,538.7

(Colorado) per 100,000 persons (Figure 3f). The lowest unintentional

fall-related hospitalization rates were generally among people aged 15

to 24 years, ranging from 24.8 (South Carolina) to 69.6 (Colorado) per

100,000 persons.


The individual state rates of hip fracture hospitalizations in persons

aged 65 years or older ranged from 494.4 (Hawaii) to 822.5 (Kansas)

per 100,000 persons (Figure 3g). The second highest rate of

hospitalizations occurred in Kentucky (799.6 per 100,000 persons),

followed by Tennessee (792.6 per 100,000). The national rate for hip

fracture hospitalizations in persons aged 65 years or older was 723.3

per 100,000 persons. This figure represents a decrease from the 2005

national rate of 759.8.

The individual state rates of hip fracture hospitalizations in persons

aged 65 years or older ranged from 296.1 (Hawaii) to 508.4 (Kansas)

among males and from 646.0 (Hawaii) to 1,048.9 (Kansas) among

females (Figure 3h). The national rate for hip fracture hospitalizations

in persons aged 65 years or older was 444.6 per 100,000 persons

among males and 925.0 per 100,000 persons among females. The

state rates were always higher among females than males. Rates

varied from 1.9 times higher (Colorado, Minnesota, Utah, and Vermont)

to 2.3 times higher (Georgia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, and South

Carolina) among females than males.

Among the reporting states, the highest hip fracture hospitalization

rates in persons aged 65 years or older were among people aged 85

years or older, ranging from 1,636.3 (Hawaii) to 2,788.8 (Colorado) per

100,000 persons (Figure 3i).

Based on data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System,

the percentage of adults aged 45 years or older who reported having

fallen in the past 3 months ranged from 11.6% (Hawaii) to 20.4%

(Montana) (Figure 3j). Of those persons who fell, the percentage who

were injured ranged from 27.3% (Vermont) to 41.0% (Rhode Island)

(Figure 3k).

FIRE-RELATED INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of unintentional fire-related fatalities

ranged from too few cases to report (Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine,

Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, and Vermont)

to 2.2 (South Carolina and Tennessee) per 100,000 persons (Figure

4a). The second highest rate of fatalities occurred in Arkansas (2.0

per 100,000 persons), followed by Louisiana and Oklahoma (1.7

per 100,000 persons). The national rate for unintentional fire-related

fatalities was 1.0 per 100,000 persons. This figure represents a

decrease from the 2005 national rate of 1.1.

The sex-specific state rates of unintentional fire-related fatalities ranged

from too few cases to report to 2.8 (Tennessee) among males and from

too few cases to report to 2.1 (Arkansas) among females (Figure 4b).

The national rate for unintentional fire-related fatalities was 1.3 per


females. The state rates were higher among males in all reporting

states except Arkansas.


unintentional fire-related fatality rates were among people aged 45

years or older, ranging from too few cases to report to 4.0 (Tennessee)

per 100,000 persons (Figure 4c).

The individual state rates of unintentional fire-related hospitalizations

ranged from too few cases to report (New Hampshire, Rhode Island,

and Vermont) to 7.5 (Arkansas) per 100,000 persons (Figure 4d). The

second highest rate of hospitalizations occurred in Georgia (6.8 per

100,000 persons), followed by Tennessee (5.5 per 100,000 persons).

The national rate for unintentional fire-related hospitalizations was

3.0 per 100,000 persons. This figure represents a decrease from the

2005 national rate of 4.7. States with the lowest rate had a range

of completeness of external cause coding of 98.2% (Vermont),

98.9% (New Hampshire), and 99.1% (Rhode Island). The state with

the highest rate (Arkansas) had an external cause completeness

percentage of 96.4%.

The sex-specific state rates of unintentional fire-related hospitalizations

ranged from too few cases to report to 11.1 (Arkansas) among

males and from too few cases to report to 4.0 (Arkansas) among

females (Figure 4e). The national rate for unintentional fire-related

hospitalizations was 4.3 per 100,000 persons among males and 1.7 per

100,000 persons among females. The state rates were always higher

among males than females.


unintentional fire-related hospitalization rates were among people

aged 65 years or older, ranging from too few cases to report to 9.7

(Arkansas) per 100,000 persons (Figure 4f). The lowest unintentional

fire-related hospitalization rates were generally among people aged 0

to 14 years, ranging from too few cases to report to 5.6 (Georgia) per

100,000 persons.

FIREARM-RELATED INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of firearm-related fatalities ranged

from 2.6 (Hawaii) to 18.3 (Louisiana) per 100,000 persons (Figure 5a).

The second highest rate of fatalities occurred in Tennessee (15.5 per

100,000 persons), followed by Arizona (15.4 per 100,000 persons). The

national rate for firearm-related fatalities was 10.2 per 100,000 persons.

This figure represents a decrease from the 2005 national rate of 10.3.

The sex-specific state rates of firearm-related fatalities ranged from

4.4 (Hawaii) to 31.9 (Louisiana) among males and from too few cases

to report to 5.6 (Louisiana) among females (Figure 5b). The national

rate for firearm-related fatalities was 18.1 per 100,000 persons among

males and 2.7 per 100,000 persons among females. The state rates

were always higher among males than females.

Among the reporting states, the highest firearm-related fatality rates

were generally among people aged 15 to 24 years, with a range of too

few cases to report to 33.3 (Louisiana) per 100,000 persons (Figure

5c). The lowest firearm-related fatality rates were among people aged 0

to 14 years.

The individual state rates of firearm-related hospitalizations ranged from

too few cases to report (Hawaii, New Hampshire, and Vermont) to 15.1

(Tennessee) per 100,000 persons (Figure 5d). The second highest

rate of hospitalizations occurred in Pennsylvania (14.1 per 100,000

persons), followed by Michigan (12.7 per 100,000 persons). The

national rate for firearm-related hospitalizations was 10.0 per 100,000

persons. This figure represents an increase from the 2005 national

rate of 9.7. States with the lowest rate had a range of completeness of

external cause coding of 92.6% (Hawaii), 98.2% (Vermont), and 98.9%

(New Hampshire), and the state with the highest rate (Tennessee) had

an external cause completeness percentage of 96.3%.

The sex-specific state rates of firearm-related hospitalizations ranged

from too few cases to report to 26.7 (Tennessee) among males and

from too few cases to report to 3.5 (Tennessee) among females

(Figure 5e). The national rate for firearm-related hospitalizations was

17.6 per 100,000 persons among males and 2.0 per 100,000 persons


females.

Among the reporting states, rates varied by age. The highest firearm-

related hospitalization rates were generally among people aged 15 to

24 years, ranging from too few cases to report to 46.2 (California) per

100,000 persons (Figure 5f). The lowest firearm-related hospitalization

rates were among people aged 0 to 14 years and people aged 65 years

or older.

HOMICIDE/ASSAULT INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of homicide fatalities ranged from

too few cases to report (Vermont) to 12.0 (Louisiana) per 100,000

persons (Figure 6a). The second highest rate of fatalities occurred in

Maryland (10.1 per 100,000 persons), followed by South Carolina (8.9

per 100,000 persons). The national rate for homicide fatalities was 6.2

per 100,000 persons. This figure represents an increase from the 2005


The sex-specific state rates of homicide fatalities ranged from too few

cases to report to 19.9 (Louisiana) among males and from too few

Among the reporting states, the highest homicide fatality rates were

among people aged 15 to 24 years, with a range of too few cases to

report to 28.7 (Louisiana) (Figure 6c).

The individual state rates of assault-related hospitalizations ranged

from 8.0 (New Hampshire) to 54.5 (Maryland) per 100,000 persons


in New York (43.7 per 100,000 persons), followed by Pennsylvania

(38.0 per 100,000 persons). The national rate for assault-related

hospitalizations was 29.0 per 100,000 persons. This figure represents

an increase from the 2005 national rate of 25.7. The state with the

lowest rate (New Hampshire) had an external cause completeness

percentage of 98.9%. The state with the highest rate (Maryland) had an


The sex-specific state rates of assault-related hospitalizations ranged

from 12.8 (New Hampshire) to 96.8 (Maryland) among males and from

too few cases to report to 13.3 (Maryland) among females (Figure

6e). The national rate for assault-related hospitalizations was 49.4 per


females. The state rates were always higher among males than

females.

Among the reporting states, rates varied by age. The highest assault-

related hospitalization rates were generally among people aged 15 to

24 years, ranging from too few cases to report to 143.6 (Maryland) per

MOTOR VEHICLE INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of motor vehicle traffic fatalities

ranged from 6.2 (Rhode Island) to 27.3 (Montana) per 100,000 persons

(Figure 7a). The second highest rate of fatalities occurred in Arkansas

(24.9 per 100,000 persons), followed by New Mexico (23.5 per 100,000

persons). The national rate for motor vehicle traffic fatalities was 14.5



The sex-specific state rates of motor vehicle traffic fatalities ranged

from 9.3 (Rhode Island) to 36.8 (Montana) among males and from 3.1

(Rhode Island) to 18.2 (Montana) among females (Figure 7b). The

national rate for motor vehicle traffic fatalities was 20.5 per 100,000


The state rates were always higher among males than females. Rates

varied from 1.9 times higher (Utah) to 3.0 times higher (Rhode Island)


Among the reporting states, the highest motor vehicle traffic fatality

rates were generally among people aged 15 to 24 years, with a range

of 12.7 (New York) to 49.1 (Montana) per 100,000 persons (Figure

7c). The lowest motor vehicle traffic fatality rates were among people

aged 0 to 14 years, with a range of too few cases to report to 6.8 (New

Mexico).

The individual state rates of motor vehicle traffic hospitalizations ranged

from 38.6 (Illinois and Nebraska) to 109.8 (Tennessee) per 100,000

persons (Figure 7d). The second highest rate of hospitalizations

occurred in Pennsylvania (107.4 per 100,000 persons), followed by

Maryland (102.3 per 100,000 persons). The national rate for motor

vehicle traffic hospitalizations was 81.9 per 100,000 persons. This

figure represents an increase from the 2005 national rate of 77.9.

States with the lowest rate had a range of completeness of external

cause coding from 53.2% (Illinois) to 94.9% (Nebraska). The state with

the highest rate (Tennessee) had an external cause completeness


The sex-specific state rates of motor vehicle traffic hospitalizations

ranged from 42.3 (Nebraska) to 140.3 (Tennessee) among males and

from 28.9 (Illinois) to 80.3 (Tennessee) among females (Figure 7e).

The national rate for motor vehicle traffic hospitalizations was 104.3

per 100,000 persons among males and 58.7 per 100,000 persons


females. Rates varied from 1.2 times higher (Nebraska) to 2.4 times

higher (Hawaii) among males than females.

Among the reporting states, rates varied by age. The highest motor

vehicle traffic hospitalization rates were generally among people aged

15 to 24 years, ranging from 64.5 (Nebraska) to 211.5 (Maryland)

per 100,000 persons (Figure 7f). The lowest motor vehicle traffic

hospitalization rates were generally among people aged 0 to 4 years,

ranging from too few cases to report to 35.2 (Arizona) per 100,000

persons.


Based on data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System

(BRFSS), 77.3% (New Hampshire) to 96.8% (Washington) of adults

reported that they always or nearly always wear seat belts when driving

or riding in a car (Figure 7g). Also based on BRFSS data, 2.1% (Utah)

to 7.1% (Louisiana, Nebraska, and Wisconsin) of adults who had drunk

at least one alcoholic beverage in the past month also reported having

driven after perhaps having too much to drink in the past month (Figure

7h).

Based on data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, alcohol-

related crash death rates ranged from 2.4 (Utah) to 12.1 (Montana) per

100,000 (Figure 7i). The alcohol-related crash death rate for the United

States was 5.3 per 100,000. This figure represents a decrease from the

2005 national rate of 5.9.

POISONING INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of poisoning fatalities ranged from

5.1 (New York) to 23.1 (New Mexico) per 100,000 persons (Figure 8a).

The second highest rate of fatalities occurred in Utah (19.7 per 100,000

persons), followed by Nevada (18.1 per 100,000 persons). The national

rate for poisoning fatalities was 12.4 per 100,000 persons. This figure

represents an increase from the 2005 national rate of 11.0.

The sex-specific state rates of poisoning fatalities ranged from 6.9

(New York) to 30.5 (New Mexico) among males and from 3.4 (New

York) to 16.2 (Utah) among females (Figure 8b). The national rate for

poisoning fatalities was 16.1 per 100,000 persons among males and

8.7 per 100,000 persons among females. The state rates were always

higher among males than females. Rates varied from 1.2 times higher

(Nebraska and Oregon) to 3.5 times higher (Rhode Island) among

males than females.

Among the reporting states, the highest poisoning fatality rates were

generally among people aged 25 to 44 years, with a range of 7.5 (New

York) to 39.0 (New Mexico) per 100,000 persons, or among people

aged 45 to 64 years, with a range of 8.9 (New York) to 40.2 (New

Mexico) per 100,000 persons (Figure 8c). The lowest poisoning fatality

rates were among people aged 0 to 14 years, with too few cases to

report.

The individual state rates of poisoning hospitalizations ranged from

40.1 (Hawaii) to 114.4 (Oklahoma) per 100,000 persons (Figure 8d).

The second highest rate of hospitalizations occurred in Pennsylvania

(110.4 per 100,000 persons), followed by Tennessee (95.5 per 100,000

persons). The national rate for poisoning hospitalizations was 79.8 per

100,000 persons. This figure represents an increase from the 2005

national rate of 74.9. The state with the lowest rate (Hawaii) had an

external cause completeness percentage of 92.6%. The state with

the highest rate (Oklahoma) had an external cause completeness


The sex-specific state rates of poisoning hospitalizations ranged from

35.3 (Hawaii) to 114.8 (Pennsylvania) among males and from 45.8

(Hawaii) to 130.6 (Oklahoma) among females (Figure 8e). The national

rate for poisoning hospitalizations was 74.4 per 100,000 persons

among males and 85.1 per 100,000 persons among females. These

rates were higher among females than males in all reporting states

except in Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania. Rates varied from

1.3 times higher among males (New York) to 1.7 times higher among

females (Nebraska). Massachusetts had similar rates for males and

females.

Among the reporting states, rates varied by age. The highest poisoning

hospitalization rates were generally among people aged 35 to 44

years, ranging from 53.2 (Hawaii) to 189.3 (Pennsylvania) per 100,000

persons (Figure 8f). The lowest poisoning hospitalization rates were

among people aged 5 to 14 years, ranging from too few cases to report

to 21.4 (Oklahoma) per 100,000 persons.

SUICIDE/SUICIDE ATTEMPT INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of suicides ranged from 6.5

(Massachusetts and New York) to 19.5 (Montana) per 100,000 persons

(Figure 9a). The second highest rate of suicides occurred in Nevada

(18.4 per 100,000 persons), followed by New Mexico (17.7 per 100,000

persons). The national rate for suicides was 11.0 per 100,000 persons.

This figure represents an increase from the 2005 national rate of 10.9.

The sex-specific state rates of suicides ranged from 9.6

(Massachusetts) to 34.3 (Montana) among males and from 2.3 (New

York) to 8.0 (Nevada) among females (Figure 9b). The national rate

for suicides was 18.0 per 100,000 persons among males and 4.5 per

100,000 persons among females. The state rates were always higher


Among the reporting states, the highest suicide rates were generally

among people aged 45 to 64 years, with a range of 10.0 (New York)

to 28.3 (Nevada) per 100,000 persons (Figure 9c). The lowest suicide

rates were among people aged 0 to 14 years, with too few cases to

report.

The individual state rates of suicide attempt hospitalizations ranged

from 27.2 (Hawaii) to 60.1 (Oklahoma) per 100,000 persons (Figure

9d). The second highest rate of hospitalizations occurred in Arkansas

(59.8 per 100,000 persons), followed by Pennsylvania (57.4 per

100,000 persons). The national rate for suicide attempt hospitalizations

was 44.1 per 100,000 persons. This figure represents an increase

from the 2005 national rate of 43.3. The state with the highest rate

(Oklahoma) had an external cause completeness percentage of

92.5%. The state with the lowest rate (Hawaii) had an external cause

completeness percentage of 92.6%.

The sex-specific state rates of suicide attempt hospitalizations ranged

from 22.9 (California) to 52.2 (Pennsylvania) among males and from

31.3 (Hawaii) to 72.8 (Oklahoma) among females (Figure 9e). The

national rate for suicide attempt hospitalizations was 37.2 per 100,000


The state rates were always higher among females than males. Rates

varied from 1.1 times higher (Maryland) to 1.9 times higher (Oregon)

among females than males.

Among the reporting states, rates varied by age. The highest suicide

attempt hospitalization rates were generally among people aged 15 to

24 years, ranging from 41.8 (Hawaii) to 105.4 (Minnesota) per 100,000

persons, or among people aged 25 to 44 years, ranging from 37.0

(California) to 107.9 (Arkansas) per 100,000 (Figure 9f). The lowest

suicide attempt hospitalization rates were among people aged 0 to

14 years, ranging from too few cases to report to 8.0 (Minnesota) per

100,000 persons.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY INDICATORS

For 2006, the individual state rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI)

fatalities ranged from 9.9 (Massachusetts) to 29.1 (Montana) per

100,000 persons (Figure 10a). The second highest rate of fatalities

occurred in Kansas (27.2 per 100,000 persons), followed by Arkansas

(26.2 per 100,000 persons). The national rate for TBI fatalities was 17.9



The sex-specific state rates of TBI fatalities ranged from 15.1

(Massachusetts) to 43.7 (Montana) among males and from 5.0

(Connecticut) to 15.1 (Montana) among females (Figure 10b). The

national rate for TBI fatalities was 28.0 per 100,000 persons among


were always higher among males than females. Rates varied from 1.9

times higher (Hawaii) to 4.1 times higher (New Mexico) among males

than females.

Among the reporting states, the highest TBI fatality rates were generally

among people aged 65 years or older, with a range of 30.6 (Connecticut

and Maryland) to 63.5 (Kansas) per 100,000 persons (Figure 10c).

The lowest TBI fatality rates were among people aged 0 to 14 years,

with a range of too few cases to report to 7.1 (Oklahoma) per 100,000

persons.

The individual state rates of TBI hospitalizations ranged from 39.4

(New Hampshire) to 131.5 (Pennsylvania) per 100,000 persons


in Hawaii (109.0 per 100,000 persons), followed by Maryland (108.3

per 100,000 persons). The national rate for TBI hospitalizations was

94.6 per 100,000 persons. This figure represents an increase from

the 2005 national rate of 84.3. The state with the lowest rate (New

Hampshire) had an external cause completeness percentage of 98.9%.

The state with the highest rate (Pennsylvania) had an external cause

completeness percentage of 97.3%.

The sex-specific state rates of TBI hospitalizations ranged from 52.5

(New Hampshire) to 176.1 (Pennsylvania) among males and from

27.7 (New Hampshire) to 89.9 (Pennsylvania) among females (Figure

10e). The national rate for TBI hospitalizations was 127.5 per 100,000


The state rates were always higher among males. Rates varied from

1.7 times higher (Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma) to 2.4 times higher

(Hawaii) among males than females.

Among the reporting states, rates varied by age. The highest TBI

hospitalization rates were among people aged 85 years or older,

ranging from 235.0 (Ohio) to 803.2 (Hawaii) per 100,000 persons

(Figure 10f). The lowest TBI hospitalization rates were among people

aged 5 to 14 years, ranging from 13.1 (New Hampshire) to 63.5

(Pennsylvania) per 100,000 persons.
