Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability; environmental,
social and other health hazards; and
determinants of health of the population
of the United States. This three-year
clearance request includes the data
collection in 2009 and 2010 and data
planning and testing activities for 2011–
2012 data collection.
The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) was
conducted periodically between 1970
and 1994, and continuously since 1999
by the National Center for Health
Statistics, CDC. Almost 19,000 persons
are screened, with about 5,000
participants interviewed and examined
annually. Participation in NHANES 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
arthritis, asthma, osteoporosis,
infectious diseases, diabetes, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, obesity,
smoking, drug and alcohol use, physical
activity, environmental exposures, and
diet. NHANES data are used to produce
national reference data on height,
weight, and nutrient levels in the blood.
Results from more recent NHANES can
be compared to findings reported from
previous surveys to monitor changes in
the health of the U.S. population over
time. NHANES continues to collect
genetic material on a national
probability sample for future genetic
research aimed at understanding disease
susceptibility in the U.S. population.
NHANES data users include the U.S.
Congress; the World Health
Organization; numerous Federal
agencies such as the National Institutes
of Health, the Environmental Protection
Agency, and the United States
Department of Agriculture; 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.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 49,626.

necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper

1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: BPD–718:
Advance Directives (Medicare and
Medicaid); Use: Steps have been taken,
at both the Federal and State level, to
afford greater opportunity for the
individual to participate in decisions
made concerning the medical treatment
to be received by an adult patient in the
event that the patient is unable to
communicate to others a preference
about medical treatment. The individual
may make his preference known
through the use of an advance directive,
which is a written instruction prepared
in advance, such as a living will or
durable power of attorney. This
information is documented in a
prominent part of the individual’s
medical record. Advance directives as
described in the Patient SelfDetermination Act have increased the
individual’s control over decisions
concerning medical treatment. The
advance directives requirement was
enacted because Congress wanted
individuals to know that they have a
right to make health care decisions and
to refuse treatment even when they are
unable to communicate. Sections 4206
of OBRA ’90 defined an advance
directive as a written instruction
recognized under State law relating to
the provision of health care when an

persons unable to communicate their

All States have enacted legislation
defining a patient’s right to make
decisions regarding medical care,
including the right to accept or refuse
medical or surgical treatment and the
right to formulate advance directives.
Participating hospitals, skilled nursing
facilities/nursing facilities, home health
agencies, providers of home health care,
hospices, religious nonmedical health
care institutions, and prepaid or eligible
organizations (including Health Care
Prepayment Plans (HCPPs) and
Medicare Advantage Organizations
(MAOs) such as Coordinated Care Plans,
Demonstration Projects, Chronic Care
Demonstration Projects, Program of All
Inclusive Care for the Elderly, Private
Fee for Service, and Medical Savings
Accounts) must provide written
information, at explicit time frames, to
all adult individuals about: (a) The right
to accept or refuse medical or surgical
treatments; (b) the right to formulate an
advance directive; (c) a description of
applicable State law (provided by the
State); and (d) the provider’s or
organization’s policies and procedures
for implementing an advance directive.
