Data Requests
The NewSTEPs Data Repository collects state profile data, annual quality indicators, monthly timeliness quality indicators and case level data from each participating NBS program in the United States including 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam.
While NewSTEPs encourages data requests from the data repository for research and quality improvement purposes, NewSTEPs will in no event share state-level quality indicator data or case data unless explicit permission has been granted by the NBS program. Any data sharing request for information that is not public/ available will be channeled through APHL’s governance structure. Each data sharing request will be directed to the Data Review Workgroup, which is charged with providing expertise to make recommendations to NewSTEPs staff and the NewSTEPs Steering Committee on any requests made for data collected within the NewSTEPs Data Repository.
