The NEW NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary
Hope you all have had an opportunity to look at the NEW Data Standards and Data Dictionary (DS&DD)! One of the NAACCR Task Forces developed a requirements document, approved by the NAACCR Board, to start the work on restructuring the DS&DD to meet the needs of internal and external stakeholders and collaborators, making the DS&DD easier to manage and more user-friendly. If you have not already done so, please take time to view the demo of the new DS&DD.

*Changes to existing data items that result from experience in collecting the data, questions received from registrars or reliability studies generally will not require field testing. However, changes to codes made for other reasons may require field testing to ensure that the new codes and coding instructions can be accurately applied in registry settings. Change requests made in October that the MLTG determine need to be field tested may postpone the implementation year.
