National Environmental Public Health Tracking
(National Center for Environmental Health)
This Web site provides a reference list of nationally funded data systems that have a relationship to environmental public health. This list is not meant to be a comprehensive inventory. Rather, it highlights the major data systems with a national scope where public health and environmental data can be directly downloaded from the Internet. Select the type of data you need (health, biomonitoring, environmental). This leads to a list that describes the systems and the kinds of information each provides. Links to datasets, software, and other information is provided for each system.

National Center for Health Statistics
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC))
NCHS is the nation's "principal health statistics agency." this is a complex site with many approaches to complex statistics. A good place to start is FASTATS A to Z. In this section, you can either select a state from the map to see statistics and links to additional sites about that state, or you can search by subject (disease, health service, birth, death, state name, and many other topics). You can get comprehensive statistics for the US and find links to other sites. There are approaches to statistics by collecting agency and broad topics like Vital Statistics. This is a rich resource with broad coverage. Check it out if you need health statistics of any kind -- it might be here!
