Crash Data from the Maryland Automated
Accident Reporting System (MAARS)
Traffic Safety Analysis Division, Office of Traffic and Safety, Maryland State
Highway Administration (SHA)
All crashes resulting in a vehicle being towed away, personal injury, or fatality are reported.
The state, county, or local law enforcement officer who first arrives at the scene of a
reportable accident records the crash data. Typically within 10 days the accident report is
submitted to the Maryland State Police Central Records Division for transfer into the
Maryland Automated Accident Reporting System (MAARS) database files; within 30
days, the data is uploaded to the Maryland State Highway Administration's database and
the Maryland State Police database

SYNAR Survey of Retail Tobacco Outlets in
MarylandMaryland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration (ADAA), Maryland Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene (DHMH)
• In accordance with Federal tobacco regulations, states are required to conduct annual random and unannounced inspections of stores and vending machines to ensure that laws prohibiting sales of tobacco products to minors are being enforced and to demonstrate that sales to minors are decreasing.
• Each year a random sample of 10 percent is drawn from the list of licensed tobacco outlets provided by the Office of the Comptroller of Maryland.
• Compliance is measured by retailers’ positive response to youth workers’ requests for tobacco products.

Maryland Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)
Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• The Maryland YRBS is part of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) developed in 1990 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor behaviors that affect morbidity and mortality among high-school-age youth.
• In the spring of 2009, the Maryland YRBS was administered to students in a representative sample of Maryland public-high-school classrooms. The law requires the survey to be administered every two years.
• A total of 1,644 students in 30 Maryland public high schools completed the survey, resulting in a 78% response rate. The 2009 Maryland YRBS results are representative of all Maryland’s public-school students in grades 9 through 12.

• The OCME is responsible for investigating all deaths in Maryland caused by violence, suicide, or injury; sudden deaths in apparently healthy individuals; and deaths that are suspicious or unusual. Intoxication deaths are those in which the OCME-determined cause of death included the word “intoxication”.
• In 90 percent of the intoxication deaths from 2006 to 2010 the manner of death (accident/suicide/homicide) was reported as undetermined, and multiple substances were involved in 40 percent or more of intoxication deaths.
