6.0 Advanced Options

Advanced report options allow you to further tailor the requested report to your information needs regarding age categories.

For victims, WISQARS NVDRS provides three ways to select the age range for a report:

• All ages (default), which includes those of unknown age.
• Age groups, which allows you to choose a specific age range in 5-year increments (periods). This selection permits you to limit the age range of your request and still have age-adjusted rates. If you want a report on a single 5-year age group, both fields should contain the same value (e.g., 0-4 to 0-4).
• Custom age range, which allows you to choose a specific age range. However, you cannot obtain age-adjusted rates with a custom age range.

Note: Age ranges include the ages specified in the range. For example, the age range 15-19 includes those who are 15 years old and those who are 19 years old. Also, note that population estimates are not available for a single year of age for all standard years. Therefore, WISQARS NVDRS does not perform age-adjusting for custom ranges.

For suspects, WISQARS NVDRS provides two ways to select the age range for a report:

• All ages (default), which includes those of unknown age.
• Age groups, which allows you to choose a specific age range in 5-year increments (periods). However, to protect confidentiality, 5-year age groups are collapsed for suspects less than 15 years of age and for those 60 years or older. This selection permits you to limit the age range of your request and still have age-adjusted rates.
