Description
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2019–2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) suspended data collection in March 2020. This was before the full two-year data collection was completed.
As a result, the National Center for Health Statistics merged the 2019–March 2020 NHANES data with the 2017–2018 NHANES data to create a special pre-pandemic dataset. The pre-pandemic data set provides nationally representative estimates on selected health outcomes.
This webinar provided an overview of this unique data release from NHANES.
The webinar described—
- Differences between this data file and previous NHANES releases
- Intended uses of the file
- Prevalence estimates for health outcomes featured in the report accompanying the data release
