Estimates from the Combined 2019-2020 National Survey of Children's Health are now available on CAHMI's Data Resource Center Interactive Data Query

The Data Resource Center for Child and Adolescent Health (DRC), a project of the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative (CAHMI), under a cooperative agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), is excited to announce the release of the combined 2019-2020 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) Child and Family Health Measures. These estimates are available through the interactive data query on childhealthdata.org! The combined 2019-2020 NSCH is the fourth multi-year dataset since the redesign of the NSCH in 2016 and includes data from 72,210 children ages 0-17 years.
 
For more information and resources on the NSCH, such as fast facts, guides to topics and questions, survey methodology and instruments, crosswalk of survey items, and more, please visit the DRC NSCH Overview page. There are also numerous resources available at HRSA MCHB’s webpage on the NSCH, including the NSCH Data Brief. Public use files for the NSCH are also available through the U.S. Census Bureau’s NSCH page.
 
The combined 2019-2020 NSCH downloadable data sets and codebooks with constructed variables displayed in the DRC Interactive Data Query will be available in early 2022. Single year 2020 NSCH estimates, downloadable data sets, and codebooks will be available through the DRC in late spring 2022. CAHMI is also excited to announce a new data resource this coming year, utilizing data from the NSCH spanning 2016-2020. CAHMI will release data on the National Outcome and Performance Measures for the combined 2016-2020 NSCH on the DRC Interactive Data Query in late spring 2022.
