Proposed Project
2005 National Health Interview Survey, OMB No. 0920-0214--
Revision--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a basic
source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population.
Respondents to the NHIS also serve as the sampling frame for the
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey which is conducted by the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality. The NHIS has long been used by
government, university, and private researchers to evaluate both
general health and specific issues, such as cancer, AIDS, and access to
health care. Journalists use its data to inform the general public. It
will continue to be a leading source of data for the Congressional-
mandated ``Health US'' and related publications. NHIS is the single
most important source of statistics to track progress toward the
National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives, ``Healthy
People 2010.''
The NHIS has been in the field continuously since 1957. Due to
survey integration and changes in the health and health care of the
U.S. population, demands on the NHIS have changed and increased,
leading to a major redesign of the annual core questionnaire or Basic
Module, and a shift from paper questionnaires to computer assisted
personal interviews (CAPI). These redesigned elements were fully
implemented in 1997. This clearance is for the ninth full year of data
collection using the core questionnaire on CAPI, and for the
implementation of a supplement sponsored by the National Cancer
Institute. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.
The estimated annualized burden is 39,837 hours.
