Health Topics

Public health data are collected several times a year via the NCHS Rapid Surveys System. Rapid Surveys data span diverse health topics because different questions are asked anytime a new survey is conducted. Survey topics and questions are determined by CDC’s information needs at the time. This design makes Rapid Surveys a valuable tool for collecting data that can be used for knowledge, action, and impact.
