About

CDC WONDER (Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) is the primary analytical data portal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Providing access to public health information for researchers and practitioners, WONDER queries national databases including underlying and multiple cause of death files (NVSS), infant mortality, natality, cancer registry statistics (NPCR), and Nationally Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) tables.

Through Fibric, an operator references standardized regional epidemiological statistics and occupational mortality benchmarks, proposing long-term health risk assessments, life safety compliance audits, and regional health benefit resource plans across distributed operations.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from CDC WONDER and what it could propose, based on the publisher's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Underlying cause of death tabulations classified by ICD-10 diagnostic codes across state and county levels
  • National vital statistics including annual birth records, infant mortality rates, and maternal health metrics
  • Cancer incidence and mortality statistics from the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR)
  • Provisional weekly and finalized annual notifiable infectious condition case counts across US states
  • Automated XML API query submission endpoint returning structured tab-delimited or XML epidemiological tables

Proposed actions

Read-only. This feed informs operators; it changes nothing.

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Benchmark occupational safety and industry fatality baselines

    Query underlying cause of death datasets by industry and external injury causes, proposing baseline hazard benchmarks for safety and OSHA compliance programs.

    With OSHA Recordkeeping, Compliance Evidence

  • Evaluate regional health disparities for employee wellness programs

    Retrieve county-level chronic condition mortality rates, proposing targeted regional health benefits and preventive wellness initiatives tailored to local health burdens.

Requirements

  • XML query builder to construct valid CDC WONDER parameter payloads defining variables and group-by criteria
  • Parser to ingest tab-delimited response tables or XML return envelopes returned by the WONDER server
  • Data use agreement adherence restricting attempts to identify individuals or small-count geographical cells
Authentication
None. The CDC WONDER XML API is publicly accessible without API keys; queries submit structured XML parameter payloads to the API endpoint.

Limits

  • Cell suppression rules restrict display of sub-national counts under ten events to protect individual privacy
  • Complex multidimensional queries can require several seconds of server-side computation time
  • API endpoints process synchronous POST queries rather than asynchronous webhook callbacks

Questions and answers

What datasets are accessible through CDC WONDER?
WONDER queries mortality by ICD-10 code, birth data, infant deaths, cancer statistics, population estimates, and notifiable disease surveillance tables.
How does programmatic access to CDC WONDER work?
Users construct an XML request payload specifying dataset parameters and group-by variables, submitting the payload via HTTP POST to the WONDER API.
What privacy restrictions apply to CDC WONDER queries?
WONDER enforces privacy suppression, masking county-level death counts between one and nine to prevent re-identification of individuals.
