Please be sure to download the documentation files as well. SAS, Stata, and SPSS files for reading and formatting the data are also available. (7/11/2008) Attention Stata Users! Since the release of the 2005 NAMCS and NHAMCS public use files, Stata users have had the option to download fully prepared Stata datasets (these are .exe files, which will uncompress to .dta files) rather than having to create their own files. In past years, Stata users had to create NAMCS and NHAMCS datasets using a Stata infile command with the public use files in ASCII format. This is still possible using the .do and .dct files provided in the NAMCS and NHAMCS Stata area, should anyone wish to do so. NOTE: Stata files for 2006 will be available soon. Attention Health Care Providers! The course entitled "National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey Methods: What Clinicians Need to Know" is now eligible for 1.25 hours of Category 1 continuing medical education (CME), 1.4 hours of continuing nursing education (CNE) and 0.1 continuing education (CEU) credits. Please contact our office for more information.
