2021 Schedule of NCHS Statistical Products and Reports

On March 7, 2008, the Office of Management and Budget published Statistical Policy Directive 4, “Release and Dissemination of Statistical Products Produced by Federal Statistical Agencies,” in the Federal Register of the United States. Following the guidance outlined in Directive 4, the National Center for Health Statistics has published its 2021 schedule of Statistical Products and Reports. Please note that many release dates on the schedule are tentative; many release dates will likely change throughout the year and entries may be added or replaced accordingly. The list will be updated as new information becomes available. For more details about specific release dates, please visit the “Upcoming Releases” page on this site or call 301-458-4800.

*In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NCHS is releasing data periodically from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS), the Research and Development Survey (RANDS), and the Census Household Pulse Survey. Provisional COVID-19 death counts by week and state are updated Monday-Friday by 12 PM EST. Provisional COVID-19 death counts by select demographic and geographic characteristics, and measures of excess deaths are updated weekly on Wednesdays by 5 PM EST. In partnership with Census, NCHS released the first round of data on healthcare access and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic from the Household Pulse survey on a bi-weekly schedule from April 23, 2020 through July 21, 2020. NCHS released bi-weekly data from the second round of the survey from August 19, 2020 through December 21, 2020. Data from NCHS’ RANDS for COVID-19 on healthcare access, use of telemedicine, and loss of work were initially released on Aug. 5th and an additional round of data will be released in the next few months.
