Background and Brief Description Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and nature of illness and disability of the population of the United States. The annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a major source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population and has been in the field continuously since 1957. This voluntary and confidential householdbased survey collects demographic and health-related information from a nationally-representative sample of households and noninstitutionalized, civilian persons throughout the country. NHIS data have long been used by government, academic, and private researchers to evaluate both general health and specific issues, such as smoking, diabetes, health care coverage, and access to health care. The survey is also a leading source of data for the Congressionally-mandated ‘‘Health US’’ and related publications, as well as the single most important source of statistics to track progress toward Departmental health objectives. The 2018 NHIS questionnaire remains largely unchanged from its 2017 version, with the exception of new supplements that are being added on asthma and cancer control. These supplements replace those from 2017 on receipt of culturally and linguistically appropriate health care services, epilepsy, cognitive disability, complementary health, hepatitis B/C screening, vision, and heart disease and stroke prevention. Continuing from 2017 are questions about access to and utilization of care and barriers to care, chronic pain, diabetes, disability and functioning, family food security, ABCS of heart disease and stroke prevention, immunizations, smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes, and children’s mental health. In addition, in the last quarter of 2018, a portion of the regular 2018 NHIS sample will be used to carry out a dress rehearsal and systems test of the redesigned NHIS questionnaire that is scheduled for launch in January 2019.

Proposed Project

National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (OMB Control No. 0920-0124,
Exp. 12/31/2019)--Revision--National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(HHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and
nature of illness and disability of the population of the United
States.
The annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a major
source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population and
has been in the field continuously since 1957. This voluntary and
confidential household-based survey collects demographic and health-
related information from a nationally-representative sample of
households and noninstitutionalized, civilian persons throughout the
country. NHIS data have long been used by government, academic, and
private researchers to evaluate both general health and specific
issues, such as smoking, diabetes, health care coverage, and access to
health care. The survey is also a leading source of data for the
Congressionally-mandated ``Health US'' and related publications, as
well as the single most important source of statistics to track
progress toward Departmental health objectives.
The 2018 NHIS questionnaire remains largely unchanged from its 2017
version, with the exception of new supplements that are being added on
asthma and cancer control. These supplements replace those from 2017 on
receipt of culturally and linguistically appropriate health care
services, epilepsy, cognitive disability, complementary health,
hepatitis B/C screening, vision, and heart disease and stroke
prevention. Continuing from 2017 are questions about access to and
utilization of care and barriers to care, chronic pain, diabetes,
disability and functioning, family food security, ABCS of heart disease
and stroke prevention, immunizations, smokeless tobacco and e-
cigarettes, and children's mental health.
In addition, in the last quarter of 2018, a portion of the regular
2018 NHIS sample will be used to carry out a dress rehearsal and
systems test of the redesigned NHIS questionnaire that is scheduled for
launch in January 2019. The redesigned questionnaire revises the NHIS
both in terms of content and

structure in order to (1) improve the measurement of covered health
topics, (2) reduce respondent burden by shortening the length of the
questionnaire and seamlessly integrating supplements, (3) harmonize
overlapping content with other federal health surveys, (4) establish a
long-term structure of ongoing and periodic topics, and (5) incorporate
advances in survey methodology and measurement.
As in past years, and in accordance with the 1995 initiative to
increase the integration of surveys within the DHHS, respondents to the
2018 NHIS will serve as the sampling frame for the Medical Expenditure
Panel Survey. In addition, a subsample of NHIS respondents and/or
members of commercial survey panels may be identified to participate in
short, Web-based methodological and cognitive testing activities to
evaluate the redesigned questionnaire and/or inform the development of
new rotating and supplemental content using Web and/or mail survey
tools.
There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.
Clearance is sought for three years, to collect data for 2018-2020.
