neiss

The neiss package provides access to the last five years of data (2013-2017) from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, which is a sample of all accidents reported to emergency rooms in the US.

It currently contains three datasets:

• injuries: individual injury results
• products: product code lookup table
• population: population of the US by age, sex, and year

Inspired by flowing data.

Installation

neiss is not currently on CRAN but you can install it with devtools:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("hadley/neiss")

But please note that this will take a while to download because the data is quite large.
