Assessing Changes in the Vital Records and Statistics Infrastructure Survey
The NAPHSIS project on Assessing Changes in the Vital Records and Statistics Infrastructure was conducted in early 2007. The survey's intent was to yield information about the needs and accomplishments of the vital records and statistics system, at both national and state levels, that can be persuasively presented to Congress, state legislatures, CDC, and state health officers. The survey sought to obtain from states actual or estimated data about the performance, uses, and resources of the state vital records and vital statistics system for selected years between 2005 and 1980.
The final report on the project, written in June 2007 by survey author Daniel J. Friedman, Ph.D. of Population and Public Health Information Services, was initially presented to the NAPHSIS Membership at the 2007 Joint Meeting in Salt Lake City.
Also, Dr. Friedman compiled a list of his key findings from the survey results, which are also available.
Each state was asked to complete one questionnaire, and we requested that each state’s response be coordinated by a senior official who could assume responsibility for reviewing all completed items, regardless of whether all vital records and vital statistics functions are within the state vital records office.
