This article identifies sources of health-related surveillance data on violence against women at both state and local levels. State and local health data have much potential to address the surveillance of violence against women. Some data sources, however, are limited by existing coding systems and poor documentation. Others, such as population-based health surveys, could provide population-based data on women's experience of violence but are underused. Examples of a variety of initiatives are discussed.
