Purpose
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in collaboration with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), is pleased to announce the release of the first NCHS-HUD linked data product. The data are based on the linkage of the National Health Interview Survey (survey years: 1999-2012) and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (survey cycles: 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2011-2012) with HUD administrative records through 2014 for HUD’s three largest housing assistance programs: Multifamily, Public Housing, and Housing Choice Vouchers. These files will enable researchers to examine relationships between housing, health risk behaviors, and health.
