Estimates from the Combined 2018-2019 National Survey of Children’s Health are now available on CAHMI’s DRC 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 2018-2019 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 2018-2019 NSCH is the third multi-year data set since the redesign of the NSCH in 2016 and includes data from 59,963 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 2018-2019 NSCH downloadable data sets and codebooks with constructed variables displayed in the DRC Interactive Data Query will be available in early 2021. Single year 2019 NSCH estimates, downloadable data sets, and codebooks will be available through the DRC in late spring 2021.
