neiss

Ingests the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) public files into the PopHIVE standard wide format.

NEISS is a national probability sample of about 100 U.S. hospital emergency departments, so all output is national (geography = "00"). Each record carries a survey weight; both raw sampled counts and weighted national estimates are produced. See measure_info.json for variable definitions and caveats.

This is a Data Collection Framework (dcf) data source project. It is maintained as a standalone repository rather than directly inside PopHIVE/Ingest; its standard/ output is pulled into Ingest/data/neiss from here.

Contents

• ingest.R — downloads the yearly NEISS workbooks from CPSC (2019 onward, latest year auto-detected) and builds the standard files
• measure_info.json — metadata for each output variable
• raw/lookups.rds, raw/nc-est2023-agesex-res.csv — diagnosis/sex/race code tables and the Census population estimates used for rates. ingest.R re-downloads them if absent.
• raw/neiss<year>.xlsx — yearly CPSC workbooks (up to ~50 MB each). Gitignored; ingest.R downloads them.
• standard/ — standardized output, two age schemes by two injury breakdowns, each with a _rate variant:
  • data_infant_diagnosis, data_infant_product — children under 2, age in months
  • data_agegroup_diagnosis, data_agegroup_product — 12 age groups
