Scientific Data Documentation
Detail Natality, 1992
DSN: CC36.NATAL92Public Use Data Tape Documentation - Natality Detail 1992 Data This tape documentation was prepared in the Division of Vital Statistics. Virginia Brainard and Manju Sharma of the Systems and Programming Branch were responsible for developing the natality documentation and for providing all of the computer programming services necessary to keep it up-to-date. T. J. Mathews of the Natality, Marriage, and Divorce Statistics Branch prepared the Technical Appendix. The Registration Methods Branch and the Technical Services Branch provided consultation to State Vital Statistics offices regarding collection of birth certificate data. Questions on the documentation or general questions concerning the natality file should be directed to the Systems and Programming Branch, Division of Vital Statistics, NCHS, 6525 Belcrest Road, Room 840, Hyattsville, MD 20782 (301-436-8900). Questions concerning the Technical Appendix or substantive questions concerning the natality data should be directed to the Natality, Marriage, and Divorce Statistics Branch, Division of Vital Statistics, NCHS, 6525 Belcrest Road, Room 840, Hyattsville, MD 20782 (301-436-8954). Documentation of the Detail Natality Data File for 1992 Data Since 1985 natality statistics for all States and the District of Columbia have been based on information from the total file of records. The information is received on computer data tapes coded by the States and provided to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program. NCHS receives the data for this file from the registration offices of all States, the District of Columbia, and New York City. Natality data for the United States are limited to births occurring within the United States to U.S. residents and nonresidents. Births to nonresidents of the United States are excluded from all tabulations by place of residence. Births occurring to U.S. citizens outside the United States are not included in this file. Effective January 1, 1989, a revised U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth replaced the 1978 revision. The 1989 revision provides a wide variety of new information on maternal and infant health characteristics, representing a significant departure from previous versions in both content and format. For a more detailed discussion of the revised and new items refer to the technical appendix part of this document. The Office of Management and Budget revised its designation of metropolitan statistical areas based on figures from the 1990 Census. Effective with the 1990 data file, NCHS has been using these new definitions and codes as indicated in the listing of 320 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas (PMSAs), and New England County Metropolitan Areas (NECMAs) included in this documentation. There are also 20 Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSAs), which are made up of PMSAs. Other geographic changes based on the 1990 Census will be implemented later. NCHS has adopted a new policy on release of vital statistics unit record data files. This new policy was implemented for the 1989 vital event files to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of individuals and institutions. As a result, the files for 1989 and later years do not contain the actual day of the birth or the dates of birth of the mother or father. The geographic detail is also restricted; only counties and cities of 100,000 or more population based on the 1980 Census, as well as metropolitan areas of 100,000 or more population based on the 1990 Census, are identified. Included in this document are: 1. List of data elements and tape locations. 2. Machine/File/Data Characteristics. 3. Detail Record Layout. 4. Geographic Code Outline. 5. Metropolitan Statistical Areas as adapted for use by NCHS/DVS. 6. Documentation Tables 1-26. 7. Technical Appendix. SYMBOLS USED IN TABLES Symbol Explanation --- Data not available ...

To foreign residents: 4,414 Geographic Code Outline The following pages show in detail the geographic codes used by the Division of Vital Statistics in the processing of vital event data occurring in the United States. When an event occurs to a nonresident of the United States, residence data are coded only to the "State" level; several western hemisphere countries or the remainder of the world are uniquely identified. Along with the Division of Vital Statistics codes the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) codes are shown for several items. Both sets of codes appear on the vital event public-use files. The Metropolitan Statistical Area codes are effective with the 1990 data year and are based on the 1990 Census. All other codes are effective with the 1982 data year and are based on results of the 1980 Census. To aid the user in interpreting the geographic codes, a brief explanation of the codes and of the column headings/abbreviations shown on the following pages are: State (St): Each State and the District of Columbia are numbered alphabetically. In addition, several unique codes are used to identify nonresidents of the U.S. County (Cnty): Counties and county equivalents (independent and coextensive cities) are numbered alphabetically within each State. MSA: Metropolitan statistical areas are those established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) using 1990 Census population counts. For New England, the New England County Metropolitan Areas (NECMA) are used. M/NM: Metropolitan counties (code 1) are component counties of MSAs. Nonmetropolitan counties (code 2) are not part of any MSA. City: Cities are numbered alphabetically within each State and identify each city with a population of 10,000 or more in 1980. P/S: Population size code for city of residence based on the 1980 Census. Refer to the code outline given earlier in this document for specific codes and meanings. Name: Each State, county, and city name is listed along with its respective code. In addition, places used to identify nonresidents of the U.S. are also listed along with their codes. FIPS: For an explanation of FIPS codes, reference should be made to various National Bureau of Standards (NBS) publications. So! How do I find Yavapai county, Arizona; or Tupelo city, Mississippi? Since counties and cities are numbered within State, the State and county or the State and city codes must be used to select these areas. It is most helpful if the county is known when looking for a particular city since areas are shown by State, county, and city. Yavapai county, Arizona - State and county codes 03 013. Tupelo, Mississippi - State and city codes 25 025 or State, county, city codes 25 041 025. 1992 Detail Natality Record Tape Field Location Size Item and Code Outline ________ _____ _____________________ 1-4 4 DATAYEAR Year of Birth of Child (Data Year) __________________________________ 1992 ... 1992 5 1 RECTYPE Record Type ___________ 1 ...
