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.
