Accessibility

NCHS strives to make information available to all. Still, portions of some our files, including charts, tables, and graphics, may be difficult to read using assistive technology.

In some cases, due to size or complexity, we were not able to make files fully accessible using assistive technology. People with disabilities who experience problems accessing any file or portions of any file should contact NCHS through CDC-INFO.
