This is a request for a
non-substantive change to the approval of the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). NHANES is a continuous
nationally representative sample of the civilian,
non-institutionalized U.S. population. The survey is unique in that
it contains interview, laboratory and physical examination
segments. The examination component is conducted in mobile
examination centers that travel to fifteen survey locations each
year. NHANES data have been the cornerstone for numerous national
health and nutrition policy and surveillance activities.
