Abstract
A national survey was conducted in 1979 to determine the extent to which state and local vital registration offices coded and stored occupational information reported on death certificates. This survey found that 11 states routinely code occupation, seven routinely code industry, and six have coded occupation and/or industry on a limited basis. State and federal cooperation is needed to facilitate increased use of mortality data for environmental and occupational health research.Keywords: Americas; Coordination; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Economic Factors; Employment Status; Information; Information Processing; Mortality; Needs; North America; Northern America; Occupational Status; Population; Population Dynamics; Population Statistics; Records; Socioeconomic Factors; Socioeconomic Status; United States
