NCHS Data Briefs

Data Briefs are statistical publications that provide information about current public health topics in a straightforward format. Each report takes a complex data subject and summarizes it in text and graphics that provide readers with easily comprehensible information in a compact publication.
Full text (.PDF) files are linked to each item appearing in these lists. If for any reason a .PDF file does not exist, a note will indicate that fact. Paper copies of Data Brief reports may be available for review in a Federal Depository or health sciences library near you.
Citation of the source is appreciated when using quotations from National Center for Health Statistics publications. Please see How to Cite NCHS Publications for examples.
