Beginning in June and going through September, data from many major federal surveys – including the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance Systems (BRFSS), the Current Population Survey (CPS), and the American Community Survey (ACS) – is released.
This period of time is something we call Survey Data Season.
Each year, SHADAC researchers cover each of these releases with a blog, infographic, report, or other product that shares key findings or important data to note from all surveys.
This page serves as a resource where you can find all of the products we have created for the 2024 Survey Data Season series. See each of the products organized by survey (in the order of data release by calendar month) below.
Note: This page will be updated as each new product is published.
