The purpose of the weekly morbidity report is the collection of notifiable disease reports for publication of national summaries by week, the detection of outbreaks, and program planning. The universe includes the United States and five U.S. territories. Respondents include the 50 state health departments; health departments in New York City and Washington, D.C.; and health departments in Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Staff of local health departments, hospitals, laboratories, and physicians report to state health departments. Case and aggregate data for diseases notifiable on a national basis are reported weekly to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) using the National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance (NETSS). Reports are summarized for the United States and each State, Census Region, and territory. These data are published in Figure 1 and Tables 1, 2, and 3 of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). Final data for 1951-97 are available in publications found in most medical or public health school libraries.

Compendium of Publicly Available Datasets and Other Data-Related Resources. The National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities has compiled a Compendium of Publicly Available Datasets and Other Data-Related Resources (Compendium). This free resource details publicly available data relevant to research and programs aiming to reduce health disparities. The Compendium compiles in one place descriptions of and links to public datasets and resources that include information about health conditions and other factors that impact the health of minority populations. https://www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/NPA/Materials/FIHET_Data_Compendium_508_version_FINAL_11_28_2016.pdf
