Accessing Community Counts Data
The Community Counts project builds upon the important work started through the Universal Data Collection (UDC) project. The CDC, ATHN, and the USHTCN are committed to providing investigators the opportunity to use and analyze data collected as part of Community Counts and/or UDC, consistent with the purposes for which they were collected and patients’ authorization for data use. We encourage HTC researchers to access the data and use it for your research. Follow our infographic below to find the different ways to access the data.
We’ve provided the following helpful guides:
| Researchers interested in using Community Counts data for a project | Community Counts Data Use Request Guide |
| An HTC or region that needs Community Counts data for internal use such as QI | Community Counts Internal Use Data Request for Regions and HTCs Guide |
| Anyone who wants to share/present or disseminate Community Counts data | How and When to Request Approval to Present and/or Disseminate Community Counts Data |
| How to keep patient confidentiality and avoid sharing small counts | Concealing Counts of 5 or Fewer Cases |
