Health Statistics

Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDCP)
http://www.cdc.gov

Statistics (and data sets) for a wide variety of topics. Entry through topics recommended. A-Z Index at very top of screen highly useful.

 

National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/Default.htm

Part of the CDCP but worth noting separately as the nation's principal health statistics agency. FastStats A to Z is particularly useful for--well, fast stats.

 

World Health Organization Statistical Information System (WHOSIS)

"Most WHO technical programmes develop health-related epidemiological and statistical information which they make available on the WHO website. The WHOSIS will help you to find it."
