**Surveys and Data Collection Systems**

Some NCHS data systems and    surveys are ongoing annual systems while others are conducted periodically. NCHS has two    major types of data systems: systems based on populations, containing data collected    through personal interviews or examinations; and systems based on records, containing data    collected from vital and medical records.
