This paper is a compendium of sources that contain quantitative data on the health of the US population. These data are useful for epidemiology, public health research, and surveillance activities. The data are from vital records, health surveys, surveillance systems, and the US Census. In this compendium, there are 107 sources of data on mortality, morbidity, natality, maternal andchild health, health and hearth care, the Census, and nutrition surveillance. The telephone numbers and contact offices within the federal agencies responsible for these data bases are provided as guides to help researchers obtain this information. These data sources are useful for examining the relations between diet, behavior, exposure, and hearth, trends in mortality and morbidity for specific diseases, and patterns in food consumption and composition.
