Overview
Restricted data fields are information that could compromise the confidentiality of survey respondents or institutions or are sensitive by nature. If researchers interested in using data from a survey find that something asked on the survey questionnaire does not have a corresponding variable in the public use data set, that variable may be restricted.
Using restricted variables requires the submission of a research application to the National Center for Health Statistics Research Data Center for access.
