The Research and Development Survey (RANDS) is a series of cross-sectional surveys using probability-sampled commercial survey panels. The seventh round of RANDS (RANDS 7) was administered by NORC at the University of Chicago using the AmeriSpeak Panel from November 3, 2022 to December 12, 2022. RANDS 7 contained the embedded probe questions and experiments as in previous rounds of RANDS. It included questions on firearm safety, chronic health conditions, and health and civic behaviors, and questions related to gender identity, traumatic brain injury and long symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). RANDS 7 has a known survey sampling design and can be used to produce nationally and sub-nationally representative estimates.

NCHS has linked data from various surveys with death certificate records from the National Death Index (NDI). Linkage of the NCHS survey participant data with the NDI mortality data provides the opportunity to conduct a vast array of outcome studies designed to investigate the association of a wide variety of health factors with mortality. The Linked Mortality Files (LMF) have been updated with mortality follow-up data through December 31, 2019.

Public-use Linked Mortality Files (LMF) are available for 1986-2018 NHIS, 1999-2018 NHANES, and NHANES III. The files include a limited set of mortality variables for adult participants only. The public-use versions of the NCHS Linked Mortality Files were subjected to data perturbation techniques to reduce the risk of participant re-identification. For select records, synthetic data were substituted for follow-up time or underlying cause of death. Information regarding vital status was not perturbed.
