 National Vital Statistics System

The National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) is a program in the United States that is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is primarily focused on the collection, analysis, and dissemination of vital statistics, which include data on births, deaths, marriages, divorces, and fetal deaths. The primary goals of the NVSS are to provide reliable and timely data that can be used for public health surveillance, policy-making, and research purposes.
