The newly launched dashboard by the Illinois Department of Public Health monitors violent deaths and non-fatal firearm incidents to enhance prevention efforts. Developed by the Northwestern-supplied Illinois Violent Death Reporting System, it presents data on types of incidents by county, including demographics and circumstances. It aims to provide essential information to public health officials and journalists, enabling data-driven approaches to tackle firearm violence, previously recognized as a public health crisis. Illinois's dashboard uniquely combines information on both violent deaths and non-fatal firearm injuries.
We need data to identify public health problems so we can develop, scale and evaluate interventions to reduce violence.
This dashboard puts critical data in the hands of people who can make a difference.
The goal of the dashboard is to inform data-driven prevention and intervention efforts to reduce violent deaths and firearm injuries in Illinois.
The Illinois dashboard is the first of its kind to gather comprehensive data about both violent deaths and non-fatal firearm injuries.
