Did you know that the federal and state governments mandate reporting of cases of certain diseases when identified by a health provider, hospital, or laboratory? State health departments, such as the Connecticut Department of Public Health, collect the data and pass the federally required information to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The NCHS conducts additional surveys on issues of national importance. For example, NCHS conducts the Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a major program to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States.
