Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to go about pulling data from a hospital ( I mean ethical committee/ IRB etc) to review case notes or from a central sourse such as NHANES. I posted on the general forum, nobody seems to respond, don't know why.

I don't know about NHANES, but for hospital records, you can get them from the medical records department. You will have to get an IRB approval, they are usually very helpful about how you get through the process.

This site seems to list the web pages of numerous sources for the Healthy People 2010 data http://www.healthypeople.gov/document/html/tracking/THP_PartC.htm
