Data Alert! In 2024, HRSA MCHB and the U.S. Census Bureau revised imputation and weighting by race and ethnicity for the NSCH. The revised weights have not been applied to any of the estimates contained in the 2016-2021 archived data query. The estimates from this data query are not comparable to estimates produced using the revised NSCH public use files available on the U.S. Census Bureau’s website. These archived data query estimates should not be directly compared with estimates on the DRC’s data query for 2021-2022, 2022 and beyond years of NSCH which have been updated with the revised weights.

Some DRC Indicator datasets for 2016-2019 have yet to be updated with the revised weights. The indicators and measures displayed on the DRC's archived 2016-2021 interactive data query must be recreated by applying the codes available in the DRC codebooks to the revised NSCH public use files provided on the U.S. Census Bureau’s website. Please read the weighting revisions technical document for more information.
