The EPICenter is here to help you access the data you need to support your valuable injury prevention activities.  We want you to have instant access to our most current data in a format that is both easy to use and powerful enough for your work.  Please feel free to send feedback, suggestions or questions at any time to epic@cdph.ca.gov.

Death data for 2007 is now available!

Note: Due to changes in the coding of death information, we are not currently putting data about fatal injuries by race/ethnicity and education data online.  If you need these data, please send an email to epic@cdph.ca.gov.  All other fatal injury variables as well as all hospitalized nonfatal data (including race/ethnicity) are available now.  These variables will be included in the update of the EPICenter.
