The purpose of this catalog is to inspire the development of new applications for linked data that support efforts to reduce death, disability, severity, and health care costs related to motor vehicle crashes. The document is divided into three sections. The Introduction describes the purpose of the Catalog, the evolution and components of CODES, and the CODES states. The Background section discusses data resources and case selection, issues related to "as reported" data and the linkage process, and the organization of information included in the catalog. The final section presents abstracts of some of the types of state-specific applications developed or in process to date. NHTSA will update the catalog as new applications are developed. (A)
