| Summary: | The Mortality Detail File: External Cause Extract is a
special subset of data prepared from the MORTALITY DETAIL FILES,
1968-1991 (ICPSR 7632). Due to changes in Cause of Death definitions
incorporated in the INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES, NINTH
REVISION (ICD-9), the 1968-1978 data files differ slightly from the
1979-1980 data files. The 1968-1978 data reflect cause of death codes
of the INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES ADAPTED FOR USE IN THE
UNITED STATES, EIGHTH REVISION (ICDA-8). The period immediately
following (1979-80) utilizes ICD-9 cause of death codes. In addition
to the differences in the Cause of Death codes and recodes, the
1979-1980 data include three variables not available in the 1968-1978
datasets. These are: mortality by marital status, state or country of
birth, and place of death and status of decedent when death occurred
in a hospital or medical center. With these exceptions, the data are
similar in structure and content to the 1968-1978 data and provide
detailed personal and geographic information such as month and day of
death, decedent's race and gender, age of deceased at time of death,
place of decedent's residence (specific to the city level), place of
death (specific to the county level), and whether an autopsy was
performed. The 1979-1980 files also contain new variables pertinent to
criminal justice research: handgun versus other gun accidents, handgun
versus other firearm suicides, handgun versus other firearm homicides,
and drug poison versus other poison homicides. |

| Sample: | All deaths that were classified as "externally" caused
and are subsets of MORTALITY DETAIL FILES, 1968-1991 (ICPSR
7632). "External" causes of death are not medical diagnoses, but
describe the circumstances under which an accident or act of violence
occurred. |

summary of holdings. Detailed file-level information (such as record length, case count, and variable count) is listed in the
file manifest. |

| Restrictions: | In preparing the data file(s) for this collection, the
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has removed direct
identifiers and characteristics that might lead to identification of
data subjects. As an additional precaution, NCHS requires, under
Section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m), that
data collected by NCHS not be used for any purpose other than
statistical analysis and reporting. NCHS further requires that
analysts not use the data to learn the identity of any persons or
establishments and that the director of NCHS be notified if any
identities are inadvertently discovered. ICPSR member institutions and
other users ordering data from ICPSR are expected to adhere to these
restrictions. |
