IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SPSS AND STATA USERS SPSS documentation is now available for the 2007, 2008, and 2009 NAMCS and NHAMCS public use data files. These programs will read in each dataset, create SPSS files, and assign variable and value labels. All that the user needs to do is to change the path name at the beginning of the program to point to the location of the dataset that has been downloaded, and at the end of the program to assign a location for the resulting SPSS dataset. This is described in the comments at the beginning of each program. These SPSS documentation files are new products that we are providing as a convenience to data users and may be considered as "beta" versions for the time being. While we conduct our own testing, we are not primarily SPSS users, and are grateful for the assistance of SPSS users who can assist with testing out these products. If data users experience difficulties or have suggestions for future releases of these products, please contact the Ambulatory and Hospital Care Statistics Branch at 301-458-4600. It should be noted that we are working on producing Stata documentation for data years 2007, 2008, and 2009 as well. It is hoped that the .DO and .DCT files and Stata datasets will be released in the next few months. (Created 09/2011)
