Problems downloading the NHIS datasets: NHIS Public Use data sets from 1970-2005 with the .exe file type are unable to be extracted on 64-bit computers running Microsoft operating systems. Data users are advised to rename the .exe files as .zip files and the data sets will extract correctly. This workaround is suggested for data years 1970-2005.
NHIS datasets are on a File Transfer Protocol(FTP) website. You may need to contact your system administrator to verify the website as a trusted website.
