NHIS

The main objective of the NHIS is to monitor the health of the United States population through the collection and analysis of data on a broad range of health topics. A major strength of this survey lies in the ability to display these health characteristics by many demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. The NHIS covers the civilian noninstitutionalized population residing in the United States at the time of the interview. Because of technical and logistical problems, several segments of the population are not included in the sample or in the estimates from the survey. Examples of persons excluded are patients in long-term care facilities; persons on active duty with the Armed Forces (though their dependents are included); persons incarcerated in the prison system; and U.S. nationals living in foreign countries.

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
