309Partially Meets Advisory Ideal
The Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (KIPRC), in collaboration with the Kentucky Department for Public Health, receives analytic copies of the death certificates files, produces mortality reports, and responds to ad hoc data requests. Aggregate mortality tables can also be produced using online interactive query systems, such as the Center for Disease Prevention and Control's WISQARS and WONDER web query systems. While the KIRPC and other groups may use the mortality data to identify problems, evaluate programs, and allocate resources, no evidence of that was offered.
