By using these data, you signify your agreement to comply with the following statutorily based requirements.

The Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m(d)) provides that the data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) may be used only for the purpose for which they were obtained; any effort to determine the identity of any reported cases, or to use the information for any purpose other than for statistical reporting and analysis, is against the law. The National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has obtained an assurance of confidentiality pursuant to Section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 242m(d). This assurance provides that identifiable or potentially identifiable data collected by the NPCR may be used only for the purpose for which they were obtained unless the person or establishment from which they were obtained has consented to such use. Any effort to determine the identity of any reported cases, or to use the information for any purpose other than statistical reporting and analysis, is a violation of the assurance. Therefore users will:

• Use the data for statistical reporting and analysis only.
• Make no attempt to learn the identity of any person or establishment included in these data.
• Make no disclosure or other use of the identity of any person or establishment discovered inadvertently, and advise the appropriate contact for the data provider. In addition to immediately notifying "Contact Us" of the potential disclosure,

Interventions Use Agreement

The HDPulse Interventions Portal was developed to provide access to a repository of minority health and health disparities-related interventions that can help users design, implement and evaluate research-tested interventions. Each intervention is accompanied by materials and resources that users can download to implement the interventions.

The information provided in HDPulse Interventions Portal is to help users make an informed decision about the best intervention options to meet their needs. The views and opinions of the research submitter expressed on this website do not necessarily state nor reflect those of the U.S. Government, and they may not be used for advertising or product endorsement purposes.

An intervention's efficacy and/or effectiveness has not been assessed or ranked by the NIH. However, each intervention was reviewed for eligibility based on the eligibility criteria developed for HDPulse. Quality assessment of an intervention should be conducted by the user who wishes to adopt or adapt the intervention. The user should evaluate and use own judgement on the use of the intervention based on the information provided by the research submitter.
