In preparing its data tape(s), the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has removed direct identifiers and characteristics that might lead to identification of data subjects. As an additional precaution, the NCHS requires that, under section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m), data collected by the NCHS may not be used for any purpose other than statistical analysis and reporting. NCHS further requires that analysts will not use the data to learn the identity of any persons or establishments, and will notify the director of NCHS if any identities are inadvertently discovered. ICPSR member institutions and other users ordering data from ICPSR are expected to adhere to these restrictions.
