Restricted use files of the NCANDS data are archived at the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect (NDACAN) and are available to researchers who are interested in using these data for statistical analyses.

NDACAN acquires microdata from leading researchers and national data collection efforts and makes these datasets available to the research community for secondary analysis.

No additional reports will be generated after the collection and processing of the 2022 annual data file. Emergency department (ED) data collection and estimates will continue to be available at NCHS through the National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS).

NHCS collects data on patient care in hospital-based settings to describe patterns of health care delivery and utilization in the United States. Settings include inpatient, emergency (EDs), and outpatient departments (OPDs). The survey will provide hospital utilization statistics for the Nation. In addition, NHCS will also be able to monitor national trends in substance use-related ED visits including opioid visits.
