From Data Resource Center on Child and Adolescent Health, June 10, 2020
The Data Resource Center (DRC), a project of the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative located at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, 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 single-year 2018 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) downloadable data sets and codebooks through childhealthdata.org! The 2018 NSCH was the third year of data collection since the NSCH redesign in 2016. This data release includes response for 30,530 children ages 0-17 years.
The DRC has continuously offered SPSS and SAS codebooks for previous years of NSCH data sets. The DRC is excited to announce the addition of a STATA codebook for the 2018 NSCH. A STATA codebook is also available for the combined 2017-2018 NSCH.
Don’t forget, the DRC also provides state comparison maps and tables for NSCH-derived Title V National Outcome and Performance Measures (NOM/NPMs). These are now available with the 2017-2018 combined NSCH data. You can:
- Compare states on all NSCH-derived Title V NOM/NPMs using our Across-State Comparison Tables
- View US maps shaded to indicate how each state's finding differs from the nation on NSCH-derived Title V NOM/NPMs using our Across-State Comparison US Maps.
For more information and resources on the NSCH, such as fast facts, guides to topics and questions, survey methodology and instruments, and more, please visit the DRC NSCH Overview. There are also additional NSCH resources available through HRSA MCHB , including the NSCH Fact Sheet. Public use files for each year of the NSCH are also available through the U.S. Census Bureau.
Information about the availability of the 2019 NSCH estimates will be released at a future time. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@cahmi.org . If you are a Title V leader, please be sure to indicate this in your request for information. Thank you.
