Currently, the DRC website includes national and state-based data on over 100 indicators from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) and the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN). The DRC's easy-to-use interactive search feature allows users to select, view, compare, and download national survey data results for every state and HRSA region.
