Proposed Project

    The 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 
(NHANES)-(0920-0237)--Revision--National Center for Health Statistics 
(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) has 
been conducted periodically since 1970 and continuously since 1999 by 
the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. About 5,000 
participants will be examined annually. They will receive an interview, 
a physical examination, a telephone dietary interview, a home allergen 
dust collection and a telephone interview. The telephone interview, as 
well as selected questions in the household interview will be referred 
to as the Flexible Consumer Behavior Survey (FCBS) and will include 
questions on food expenditures, diet and health knowledge and other 
food and nutrition topics. Participation in the survey is completely 
voluntary and confidential.
    NHANES programs produce descriptive statistics which measure the 
health and nutrition status of the general population. Through the use 
of questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory tests, NHANES 
studies the relationship between diet, nutrition and health in a 
representative sample of the United States. NHANES monitors the 
prevalence of chronic conditions and risk factors related to health 
such as asthma, osteoporosis, infectious diseases, diabetes, eye 
disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, drug 
and alcohol use, physical activity, environmental exposures, and diet. 
NHANES data are used to establish the norms for the general population 
against which health care providers can compare such patient 
characteristics as height, weight, and nutrient levels in the blood. 
Data from NHANES can be compared to those from previous surveys to 
monitor changes in the health of the U.S. population. For this 
revision, NHANES will also establish a national probability sample of 
genetic material for future genetic research for susceptibility to 
disease.
    Users of NHANES data include Congress; the World Health 
Organization; Federal agencies such as NIH, EPA, and USDA; private 
groups such as the American Heart Association; schools of public 
health; private businesses; individual practitioners; and 
administrators. NHANES data are used to establish, monitor, and/or 
evaluate recommended dietary allowances, food fortification policies, 
environmental exposures, immunization guidelines and health education 
and disease prevention programs. NCHS is seeking OMB approval through 
April 2009.
    There is no net cost to respondents other than their time. 
Respondents are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket costs such as 
transportation to and from the examination center.
