Data on headaches

Hello, Here are a few suggestions for data about headaches. 1. National Health Interview Survey – representative sample of health conditions in the US population – search keyword “headache” for data tables aggregated by factors including sex, age, race, education, and more. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/shs/tables.htm * You can get access to state level data through the Research Data Center: https://www.cdc.gov/rdc/b1datatype/Dt1225.htm * MMWR “ QuickStats: Percentage* of Adults Aged ≥18 Years Who Reported Having a Severe Headache or Migraine in the Past 3 Months,† by Sex and Age Group — National Health Interview Survey,§ United States, 2015“ https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6624a8.htm?s_cid=mm6624a8_w 2. Beyond the NHIS data, some historical Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data sets have questions related to headache [0] and the most recent is 2012 [1]: * “Reactions to Race [Prologue] Within the past 30 days, have you experienced any physical symptoms, for example, a headache, an upset stomach, tensing of your muscles, or a pounding heart, as a result of how you were treated based on your race? (Variable name change) RRPHYSM2” * [0] https://chronicdata.cdc.gov/Behavioral-Risk-Factors/Behavioral-Risk-Factor-Surveillance-System-BRFSS-H/iuq5-y9ct * [1] https://www.cdc.gov/brfss/annual_data/annual_2012.html 3.
