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.
