Alaska Violent Death Reporting System
The Alaska Violent Death Reporting System (AKVDRS) is a state-based surveillance system modeled after the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). The objectives of AKVDRS are to:
- link violent death record data from disparate sources;
- provide timely information through rapid data retrieval;
- describe the circumstantial and environmental factors that contribute to violent deaths; and
- characterize perpetrators, including the relationship to the victim(s).
