To provide data on the incidence of acute conditions, limitation of activity, episodes of persons injured, hospitalizations, disability days, physician contacts, the prevalence of selected chronic conditions, and assessed health status.
The NHIS is a continuing, nationwide, household interview survey.
A probability sample of households in the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States is interviewed each week by interviewers from the Bureau of the Census. Since 1985 a full sample consists of about 50,000
households representing about 130,000 persons. The NHIS “basic”
is not longitudinal and historically has not been linked to other files. An NHIS/National Death Index linkage capability was made possible after the 1984 NHIS survey year. In the future, beginning at the conclusion of the 1987 NHIS survey year, linkage capabilities will also exist between the NHIS and the National Survey of Family Growth.
The NHIS provides current information on the amount, distribution, and effects of illness and disability in the United States, and the services rendered for or because of such conditions. The
~~I~9~~asic” has changed about every 10 years and most recently. .
YEARS OF DATA Annual since 1957.
COLLECTION:
PUBLICATIONS:€ Current Estimates, an annual publication of the basic statistics derived from the NHIS, is the primary publication. Other
publications of specialized analyses-are referenced as Series 10 reports in the Catalog of Publications of the National Center for Health Statistics and Advance Data reports.
