National Hospital Care Survey [NHCS] linked to Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD] Administrative Housing Data
Through its data linkage program, NCHS has been able to expand the analytic utility of the data collected from the 2014 and 2016 National Hospital Care Surveys [NHCS] by linking patient records with up to three years of administrative housing data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s [HUD] largest housing assistance programs: the Housing Choice Voucher [HCV] program, Public Housing [PH] , and privately owned, subsidized Multifamily housing [MF]. These innovative linked data will support a wide array of patient outcomes studies, including the opportunity to study complex relationships between housing and health.
