CDC NHANES Dataset: Rescued Just in Time

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States conducted by the CDC. The survey is unique in that it combines interviews and physical examinations. This is a very important dataset for health, public health, and nutrition fields.

Last week, the DRP was alerted that the NHANES dataset release page was down – since then, the page has been restored. But, in even better news, a few weeks ago DRP volunteer mkraley worked to scrape the NHANES releases page, and uploaded it to Data Lumos. This backup is currently available for anyone to access NHANES public use data.

Thanks, mkraley, for your work!
