This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) formerly referred to as the Fatal Accident Reporting System, is a collection of files documenting all qualifying fatal crashes since 1975 that occurred within the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To be included in this census of crashes, a crash had to involve a motor vehicle traveling on a trafficway customarily open to the public, and must result in the death of a person (occupant of a vehicle or a nonmotorist) within 30 days of the crash. The purpose of this document is to provide an analytic reference to individuals who wish to conduct crash and vehicle research using the FARS data.

To be included in this census of crashes, a crash had to involve a motor vehicle traveling on a trafficway customarily open to the public, and must result in the death of a person (occupant of a vehicle or a nonmotorist) within 30 days of the crash. The purpose of this document is to provide an analytic reference to individuals who wish to conduct crash and vehicle research using the FARS data. Since 1975 a comprehensive coding manual has been produced each year. The coding manual provides a set of written instructions to every FARS analyst on how to transfer the data from a police accident/crash report (PAR) to the FARS system. Since 1975, FARS has undergone several changes. To augment the coding manual, classes are held each year to train the coders and a system wide FARS meeting is held to encourage uniform coding for later analysis. By default the coding manual has taken on an additional role: an aid to the analytic researcher. When doing longitudinal analysis (analysis across several years) to ensure accuracy, each variable of interest must be checked in each year's coding manual. Often experience with the system helps with the research, but errors are still possible. An unsuspecting analyst might assume that if one had a complete set of coding manuals and sufficient diligence, one could produce the desired results. Unfortunately, the data in the current files available for analysis do not correspond with the historical coding manuals. This is especially true for the early years of the program.

Download or read book Regulating Older Drivers written by David S. Loughran and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are older drivers posing increasing risk to the public? If so, what public policies might mitigate that risk? Older drivers (those 65 and older) are slightly likelier than drivers aged 25 to 64 to cause an accident, but drivers aged 15 to 24 are nearly three times likelier than older drivers to do so. The authors of this paper conclude that stricter licensing policies targeting older drivers would likely not improve traffic safety substantially.

Download or read book Forensic Epidemiology written by Michael Freeman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an inescapable fact that causation, both generally (in populations), and specifically (in individuals), cannot be observed. Rather, causation is determined when it can be inferred that the risk of an observed injury or disease from a plausible cause is greater than the risk from other plausible causes. While many causal evaluations performed in forensic medicine are simplified by the fact that the circumstances surrounding the onset of an injury or disease clearly rules out competing causes (eg, a death following a fall), there are many cases that present a more complicated picture. It is these types of investigations, in which an analysis of comparative levels of risk from competing causes is needed to arrive at a reliable and accurate determination of the most likely cause, that forensic epidemiology (FE) is directed at.In Forensic Epidemiology, the authors present the legal and scientific theories underlying the methods by which risk is used in the investigation of individual causation. Methods and principles from epidemiology are combined with those from a multitude of other disciplines, including general medicine, pharmacology, forensic pathology, biostatistics, and biomechanics, inter alia, as a basis for investigating the plausibility of injury and disease exposures and mechanisms. The ultimate determination of the probability of causation (PC) results from an assessment of the strength of association of the investigated relationship in the individual, based on a comparison between the risk of disease or injury from the investigated exposure versus the risk of the same disease or injury occurring at the same point in time in the individual, but absent the exposure. The principles and methods described in Forensic Epidemiology will be of interest to those who work and study in the fields of forensic medicine, epidemiology, and the law. Historical perspective on how epidemiologic evidence of causation has been used in courts in the US and Europe Theory and science underlying the use of risk to assess individual causation Primer on epidemiologic methods, and various measures used to arrive at individualized comparative risk assessments and PC The use of statistical methods applied to publicly available data for ad hoc analysis of PC applicable to the specific circumstances of a case Background on complementary disciplines, including forensic pathology, death investigation, biomechanics, and survival analysis Examples of applied FE in the investigation of traffic injury and death, automotive and other product defect litigation, medical negligence, and criminal prosecution and defense
