Accessing NCHS Data Over the Web:The Future

Updates and Changes to the Healthy Women and Trends in Aging Tables, including new mortality information.

The DataWeb provides access to demographic, economic, environmental, health, and other databases housed in different systems in different agencies and organizations. It provides data query and extract capabilities, as well as data analysis and visualization tools.

Currently users can create subsets, tabulate, chart, and export data to a variety of formats, working of a CD-ROM.  In the future, users will be able to access and use the SETS data sets from the Internet.
