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. NHANES was conducted periodically between 1970 and 1994, and continuously since 1999 by the NCHS. A supplemental sample of pregnant women was selected in NHANES from 1999–2006. This resulted in a total of 1,350 pregnant women, from 31 states, had their NHANES data linked to their birth certificate data. These data have been used extensively to examine associations between birth data and health and nutritional status at the time of participation in the NHANES III. The new linkage project data on older children will be similarly valuable. Consents for these projects will be sent to the appropriate U.S. states, local areas, or territories, where the birth certificate retrievals will then be conducted. Electronic retrieval per records is estimated at two minutes. 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. This submission requests approval for two years. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. in the NHANES. Although this supplemental sample was discontinued after 2006, there are an estimated 150 pregnant women in the NHANES sample for the years 2007–10. This results in a total estimate of 1,500 women for this project. The NHANES only collected information about the pregnant women at the time of interview. Having information on their children’s birth certificates and birth outcomes could provide insight for policy decisions related to maternal and child health. No other survey has the physical examination and nutritional data that NHANES collects on pregnant women. The second project involves children. From 2005–2010 there were approximately 3,800 children, aged 5–10 years, in the NHANES. Permission to link these children’s NHANES records to other administrative records was obtained during the original NHANES consent process.

Proposed Project

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Birth
Certificate Linkage Study--New -- National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
NCHS's Division of Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys
(DHANES) proposes to re-contact women who were pregnant at the time of
their participation in NHANES in 1999-2010 and ask permission to link
their data to the child's birth certificate data, for the birth that
resulted after the survey. This study is funded in collaboration with
CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health

A second project, also funded by CDC's DRH, will link the birth
certificates of the children sampled in NHANES who were 5-10 years old
during the 2005-2010 NHANES. No re-contact of the parents is necessary
because informed consent to link to vital records was obtained as part
of the NHANES consent process. A two year clearance is sought for these
projects.

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.
NHANES was conducted periodically between 1970 and 1994, and
continuously since 1999 by the NCHS. A supplemental sample of pregnant
women was selected in NHANES from 1999-2006. This resulted in a total
of 1,350 pregnant women, from 31 states, in the NHANES. Although this
supplemental sample was discontinued after 2006, there are an estimated
150 pregnant women in the NHANES sample for the years 2007-10. This
results in a total estimate of 1,500 women for this project.
The NHANES only collected information about the pregnant women at
the time of interview. Having information on their children's birth
certificates and birth outcomes could provide insight for policy
decisions related to maternal and child health. No other survey has the
physical examination and nutritional data that NHANES collects on
pregnant women.
The second project involves children. From 2005-2010 there were
approximately 3,800 children, aged 5-10 years, in the NHANES.
Permission to link these children's NHANES records to other
administrative records was obtained during the original NHANES consent
process.
A similar linkage study was conducted in the past when 8,836
children 2 months through 6 years of age from the Third NHANES (1988-
94) had their NHANES data linked to their birth certificate data. These
data have been used extensively to examine associations between birth
data and health and nutritional status at the time of participation in
the NHANES III. The new linkage project data on older children will be
similarly valuable.
Consents for these projects will be sent to the appropriate U.S.
states, local areas, or territories, where the birth certificate
retrievals will then be conducted. Electronic retrieval per records is
estimated at two minutes.
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. This submission requests approval
for two years. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
