1. Identifying Health Trends: NCHS data helps in tracking and identifying trends in health behaviors, conditions, and diseases. 2. Developing Public Health Policies: Policymakers rely on NCHS statistics to make informed decisions on healthcare policies and resource allocation. 3. Conducting Research: Researchers use NCHS data to study various epidemiological questions, from disease prevalence to risk factors.
