FAMIS Spotlight National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) is conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) dating back to 1973 in six cycles. The latest cycle (Cycle 6 2002) was conducted with the participation and funding support of nine other programs of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. More than 360 studies in academic journals and NCHS reports have been published using NSFG data. Those are listed on this Web site at the 'List of Reports and Articles using NSFG Data.' NSFG statistics have also been cited in thousands of newspaper, magazine, and newsletter articles. Further details on how the surveys were planned and conducted, reports of the findings from the surveys, documentation and codebooks, and contact information to obtain the public-use data files, are available on this Web site.
