National Health Interview Survey Current Health Topic Public-use Data Files Order FormDATA USE AGREEMENT - The Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m(d)) provides that the data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) may be used only for the purpose for which they were obtained; any effort to determine the identity of any reported cases, or to use the information for any purpose other than for health statistical reporting and analysis, would violate this statutory restriction and the conditions of the data use agreement. NCHS does all it can to ensure that the identity of data subjects cannot be disclosed; as well as characteristics that might lead to identifications are omitted from the data set. Nevertheless, it may be possible in a rare instance, through complex analysis, and with outside information, to ascertain from the data sets the identity of particular persons or establishments. Considerable harm could ensue if this were done. Therefore, the undersigned gives the following assurances with respect to all NCHS data sets: I will not use nor permit others to use the data in these sets in anyway except for statistical reporting and analysis; I will not release nor permit others to release the data sets to any person who is not a member of this organization, except with the approval of NCHS; I will not attempt to link nor permit others to link the data set with individually identifiable records from any other NCHS or non-NCHS data set; I will not attempt to use the data sets to learn the identity of any person or establishment included in any set; and If the identity of any person or establishment should be discovered inadvertently, then (a) no use will be made of this knowledge, (b) the Director of NCHS will be advised of the incident, (c) the information that would identify an individual or establishment will be safeguarded or destroyed as requested by NCHS, and (d) no one else will be informed of the discovered identity. My signature indicates my agreement to comply with the above-stated statutorily based requirements with the knowledge that deliberately making a false statement in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the Federal Government violates 18 U.S.C. 1001 and is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 or up to 5 years in prison.
