CDC Wants Feedback on ER Violence Data Project
Published Date: 5/27/2026
Notice
Summary
The CDC wants your thoughts on a new project called AVERT that helps track violence-related injuries and mental health visits in emergency rooms. This project affects local health departments who get funding to collect and analyze this info quickly. Comments are open until July 27, 2026, and the goal is to make data collection smarter without adding extra hassle or costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Funding to Jurisdictions for AVERT
The AVERT program provides funding to jurisdictions to monitor emergency department (ED) visits for violence-related injuries and mental health conditions and to share those data with CDC. In Year 1, AVERT received funding to support 12 jurisdictions, and CDC requests OMB approval to continue data collection for three years.
Bimonthly ED Violence Form Requirement
Health departments that share syndromic ED data with CDC must complete an ED Violence Data Form every two months (six times per year) using existing ED data. CDC estimates an average burden of 15 minutes per response (0.25 hours).
Standardized Reports Reduce Local Burden
Through collaboration with the National Syndromic Surveillance Program, AVERT developed advanced scripts and standardized data reports that participating jurisdictions will receive directly and will no longer need to develop on their own. CDC estimates this change reduced the overall estimated burden to 18 annual hours.
