• Abstract:
  This project sought to build on prior efforts to link California crash and emergency medical services (EMS) data in order to 1) provide a more accurate picture of traffic injuries by utilizing medical data to fill in where police crash reports may not capture a crash or may have limited information, and 2) to get a more accurate picture of EMS (or pre-hospital) response times in relation to crash location and other factors.
