Many public use data files are released on
CD-ROM. Each CD-ROM contains one or more of the following: data files
(ASCII), documentation files (PDF), files (ASCII) containing SAS programming
statements for use with the data file(s), and the Adobe Acrobat Reader® software
required for viewing and printing PDF files. Note that for the Nursing
Home Component, only documentation files are available on CD-ROM. Nursing
Home Component data files are not available for public use, but researchers
with approved
projects can access the files at the AHRQ Data Center.
