Michigan Advancing Violence Epidemiology in Real Time (MI-AVERT). - This program would utilize Michigan's syndromic surveillance system to collect data on firearm injuries, violence, and mental health conditions in real-time, identify anomalies in frequency of occurrence at the county and zip code level and provide timely information to key partners working to prevent or respond to violence. It will include a component in which data from the syndromic surveillance system is linked to firearm/violence/mental health data from a separate source of data for the purposes of data validation. It would also include a second component called REDIRECT (Real-time Data to Inform Response, Engagement, Collaboration, and Tailored prevention activities) which primarily involves using syndromic surveillance data along with law enforcement data to create a more complete picture of community violence at the local level.
