Improving the spotiness and completeness of bicycle crash data

[moorepants]

Description

Marco and Joris presented what they've learned about causes of injuries and death related to bicycle incidents. One clear thing is that the data is very spotty and incomplete. It is difficult to say definitively what the causes are what causes are the one that should receive most focus. We need to address the data gaps and make the record more complete.

• what if hospitals had an improve survey/questionnaire to fill out when someone comes in from a bicycle crash. should there be more standardization to the questionaires?
• the non-serous injury data is absent, do we need this information, if so can we collect it somehow?
• are their ways to take the incomplete data and answer the questions we want with statistical confidence?
• can we merge all existing data in better database, is there a database?
• how do we merge data from different countries?
