The Centers for Disease Control, an organization designed to monitor and improve the health of the United States, did something revolutionary.

It opened up its datasets to the world, allowing any citizen to explore and understand its data.

Typically, only researchers have used the dataset, and generally to monitor the trends of medical problems in the United States. We wanted to make the dataset more easily accessible to everyone.

IF you would like to use the dataset to analyze the trends in the United States population, please refer to these guidelines of analysis as certain populations were over or under-sampled and specific weighting criteria must be used. Further information can be found here:
