NCHS Podcast Series

CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) produces a short podcast series, “Statcast,” which posts on the NCHS web site every Friday morning.  The podcasts are 5-10 minutes in length and feature an interview with an NCHS subject matter expert on a specific health topic along with a summary of that week’s NCHS data releases.

Last Friday, we wrapped up a four-part series on death certificate data in the U.S. with NCHS Mortality Statistics Chief Robert Anderson.  The full four-part interview (and transcript) can be found at the following link.

If you are interested in learning more about the podcasts, in general or on specific topics, please let the NCHS Press Office know at paoquery@cdc.gov.
