# This code parses data from the CDC's Multiple Cause of Death datafile for FiveThirtyEight's
# "Gun Death in America" project.
# This code produces clean dataframes of firearm deaths and suicides (firearm and non-firearm).
# Code to further process this data for our interactive graphic can be found in the 'interactive_prep.R' file
# elsewhere in this repo.
# Questions/comments/corrections to ben.casselman@fivethirtyeight.com
# All data is from the CDC's Multiple Cause of Death datafile.
# Data: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data_access/VitalStatsOnline.htm#Mortality_Multiple
# Codebook: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/Record_Layout_2014.pdf
# Most of these calculations can be checked through CDC's two web tools:
# Wonder search: http://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D76
# WISQARS search: http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_us.html (1999-2014)

# The function below will download and parse each year of data.
# Note that older files may require coding tweaks to adapt to older file structures.

# 1. all_deaths_YR.RData: Full deaths file, with minimal cleaning
# 2. gun_deaths_YR.RData: Gun deaths only, with some basic additional variables
# 3. suicides_YR.RData: Suicides (firearm and non)
