About the Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention Data Repository

The Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention (IFIP) Data Repository is a topical research data archive. Located at one of the world's largest repositories for social science data, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, the IFIP Data Repository supports research to prevent firearm fatalities and injuries by:

• Making it easier to find and use topical data
• Providing a place for researchers to deposit data about firearm violence and injury
• Creating an environment to access sensitive data
• Promoting the identification of data gaps relating to firearm violence and injury
• Expanding access to firearm injury data
• Providing long-term storage and preservation services for archived data

Our collection includes the following:

• Data from research studies related to the subject of firearms
• Administrative data related to firearms
• Links to administrative (and other data resources) not hosted at ICPSR but which are relevant to firearms research
• Data not directly related to firearms research but includes one (or more) variables related to firearm injuries, ownership, or attitudes
