[NCHS] Division of Vital Statistics Proposal for Access to Restricted-Use Data for the National Center for Health Statistics

NCHS is the Nation’s principal health statistics agency and compiles statistical information to guide actions and policies to improve the health of the U.S. population. The data systems administered by NCHS are a unique public resource for health information, a critical element of public health and health policy. Making these data available to the public upon request is an essential mission of NCHS. Since 1991, the NCHS DVS has sought to make restricted-use NCHS vital statistics data available to authorized researchers in a secure manner that protects the data from unauthorized disclosure. The DVS proposal collects information that is used by NCHS to assess and adjudicate researcher projects to determine whether access to restricted-use vital statistics data should be granted under the conditions established by the jurisdictions.
