October 1 - The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has released 2017 National Survey of Children’s Health data from nearly 21,000 households across the U.S. This voluntary survey, funded and directed by HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau, provides annual national- and state-level estimates of key measures of child health and well-being. Anyone can access the data free of charge.

“The HRSA National Survey of Children’s Health is an innovative, unique tool providing information on the health status and health service needs of children throughout our nation,” said HRSA Administrator George Sigounas, MS, Ph.D. “These data empower people at the state and federal levels to develop policies and programs informed by recent, quality data.”
