Abstract: Surveys are a common tool utilized by organizations and researchers to collect data and evaluate various populations. This project aimed to consolidate a list of national health surveys to make the data source identification process easier when utilizing survey data. A cross-sectional analysis of currently available national survey data was conducted using information from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website. Surveys were assessed for inclusion criteria, and then data on diagnosis of chronic diseases and social determinants of health (SDoH) were extracted from included surveys. A total of 39 data sources were identified. After screening, 16 surveys met inclusion criteria and were included in the extraction process. This project identified 16 national health surveys containing questions related to chronic disease(s) and SDoH, which can be used to answer clinical, educational, and research questions. National surveys presented cover a broad range of topics, and these surveys may meet a variety of user needs.
