This collection provides information on live births in the United States during calendar year 2001. The natality data in these files are a component of the vital statistics collection effort maintained by the federal government. Part 1 contains data on births occurring within the United States to United States residents and nonresidents, while Part 2 contains data on births occurring in the United States territories of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Geographic variables describing residence for births include the state, county, city, county and city population size, metropolitan statistical area (MSA), primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA), consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA), New England County metropolitan area (NECMA), and metropolitan/nonmetropolitan county. Other variables include place of delivery, person in attendance, live-birth order, and medical and health data such as the number of prenatal visits, tobacco and alcohol use during pregnancy, method of delivery, medical risk factors, and infant health characteristics. Birth and fertility rates and other statistics related to this study can be found in the National Vital Statistics Report in the codebook documentation. Demographic variables include the child's sex, birthweight, and date of birth, the mother and father's age, race, and ethnicity, as well as the mother's place of birth, marital status, education level, and nation of origin.(ICPSR 2/26/2015)

This report provides information regarding suicide mortality for the years 2001–2014. It incorporates the most recent mortality data from the VA/Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Suicide Data Repository and includes information for deaths from suicide among all known Veterans of U.S. military service. Data for the Joint VA/DoD Suicide Data Repository were obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics’ National Death Index through collaboration with the DoD, the CDC, and the VA/DoD Joint Suicide Data Repository initiative. Data available from the National Death Index include reports of mortality submitted from vital statistics systems in all 50 U.S. states, New York City, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The purpose of the Vital Statistics for England and Wales data is to record the numbers of conceptions, live births, stillbirths, deaths and causes of death for persons in England and Wales, by gender and age. Data are available at local authority, health authority and ward level. Individual studies in the series record various parts of these data. Changes have been made over time to the way in which the Office for National Statistics (ONS) collects vital statistics data, resulting in some variation in the content of later studies in the series. Further information may be found in the Key Population and Vital Statistics reports available from the ONS web site.

During 2006, Sam Smith and colleagues at ESDS Government carried out work on various studies in the series prior to 2002, to improve the data format. The resulting files have been redeposited at the UKDA. More information is available in the documentation for the studies concerned.


SN:4817 includes annual summary figures for 2002 for each local authority in England and Wales on populations, births and deaths; fertility and mortality rates; comparative numbers and rates for the region and England and Wales.

Main Topics:

The data in the tables include all deaths registered in 2002. The 2001 mid-year population estimates are used in the 2002 VS1 table.
Births data are defined by mother's area of usual residence. Deaths data are defined by usual residence of the deceased as stated at death registration.
Births and deaths where the address of usual residence was outside England and Wales have been included in the 'England, Wales and Elsewhere' aggregate, but excluded from the figures given for individual health and local authorities.

Abstract

Vital Statistics cover Births, Deaths, Still births and Marriages which are called vital events. The source for the collection of data for the preparation of Vital statistics is the certificate issued to the respondent when the registration of the occurrence of the vital event is done. Maintaining Vital statistics is an Administrative record keeping operation and is a continuous process where the event by event data are collected on a monthly basis and the final outputs (reports) are produced annually for dissemination. The computerization of vital statistics came into being after the arrival of computers to the Department of Census and Statistics in 1960's.

Registration of vital events commenced in 1867 with the enactment of civil registration laws which conferred the legal sanction for the registration of events namely, live births, deaths, still births and marriages.
