National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Genetic Restricted Data
Add to My BasketDescription
DNA samples were collected in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III; 1988-1994) and in subsequent NHANES cycles (1999-2002, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2011-2012). The program is a nationally representative collection of stored DNA samples and genetic data and will serve to add to the extensive amount of health, nutritional, and environmental information collected from NHANES. Resulting genetic variants are deposited into the NHANES Genetic Data Repository. These datasets are categorized as restricted data since they contain identifiable information.

Data Access
NCHS management, access and other fees apply. https://www.cdc.gov/rdc/application-process/fees-and-invoicing.html
The restricted-use file may include lower-level geography and select variables not available on the public-use file due to possible disclosure risk. Most restricted-use geographic NCHS variables can only be used to merge external data or to categorize geographic areas with similar characteristics. Researchers should not estimate regions smaller than the specific survey's sample design would support, even when smaller levels of geography are available.
