How and when will CDC release data collected in NVDRS?
A CDC data steward, in cooperation with a data release workgroup, clears all proposed releases whether they are for public use files or restricted access files. Data are updated annually and can be accessed online at http://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars or through restricted access datasets (RADs). Datasets are considered closed and final eighteen months after the end of the calendar year in question. All RADs must be accompanied by a data sharing agreement that places restrictions on how, when, and by whom the data may be used.
