Data Sources, Continued

Some data, such as state-level rates for racial/ethnic subgroups, are not included in the standard final report. These data are published through special reports, released sporadically through NCHS’s National Vital Statistics Reports. Recent titles of interest include “Nonmarital Childbearing in the United States, 1940-99” and “Variations in Teenage Birth Rates, 1991-98: National and State Trends.”

Another source of data from NCHS is its report, Vital Statistics of the United States.

Finally, depending on what data has been released by NCHS in special reports, Child Trends’ “Facts at a Glance” may be the best source for certain information, such as the proportion of teen births that are out-of-wedlock, by race and state.
