**National      Committee on Vital and Health Statistics**

The      National Center for Health Statistics provides staff support for the      National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS) and its      subcommittees. The NCVHS is the official external advisory committee on      health statistics to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The      Committee serves as a forum for interested groups to provide input on      important data issues.

The      Committee is composed of 16 individuals distinguished in the fields of      health statistics, epidemiology, and health care services. The Committee      fulfills important review and advisory functions relative to health      statistical problems of national or international interest, stimulates or      conducts studies of such problems, and makes proposals for improvement of      the Nation's health statistics and information systems.

NCVHS has      become increasingly active over the past several years, addressing issues      relating to uniform health data sets, medical classification systems, the      need for improved mental health statistics, data needs for minority health      and the medically indigent, and State and community health data needs.
