The accuracy of industry data from death certificates for workplace homicide victims.

H Davis

Office of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Food and Drug Administration, Rockville 20857.

This study compared death certificate data on usual industry for workplace homicide victims in five urban Texas counties, with medical examiners' data on the industries where victims were working when injured. The overall positive predictive value of the death certificate data was 72 per cent. Death certificate data on usual industry underestimated the number of victims working in high-risk industries when injured, partly because of victims whose usual industry was recorded as student, housewife, or military personnel.
