Data Files and Documentation
Public health data are collected several times a year via the NCHS Rapid Surveys System. Rapid Surveys data span diverse health topics because different questions are asked anytime a new survey is conducted. Survey topics and questions are determined by CDC's information needs at the time. This design makes Rapid Surveys a valuable tool for collecting data that can be used for knowledge, action, and impact.
Explore the links below to access the Rapid Surveys data and documentation. For a list of topics included in each round, please see the Topic by Round Lookup Table. Certain rounds or topic areas of Rapid Surveys are included for methodological research purposes. In those cases, estimates are not publicly released.
