The National Injury Query System

The NIQS provides information about the causes of injury that result in hospitalisations or fatalities in New Zealand. Using the pull-down menus in the NIQS system (www.otago.ac.nz/ipru/NIQS), you can choose the years of interest, different age groups, different intents, various mechanisms of injury, and select by District Health Board or Territorial Local Authority.

Should the answer to your question not be obvious from NIQS, the IPRU is able, courtesy of the Ministry of Health, to offer a limited free customised service: email StatsEnquiry@ipru.otago.ac.nz or contact an IPRU data manager on 03 479 7311.

Full details of both services are available at the IPRU, University of Otago's webpage http://www.otago.ac.nz/ipru/Stats
