CDC/NCHS may use the non-substantive change mechanism to modify existing questions, including those designed to add depth/additional detail and cycle in and out supplemental modules that have been used in the past years (with modest updates). A non-substantive change request is required before fielding the proposed incentive experiment. If new supplemental modules, new questionnaire instruments, or modifications to the sample are anticipated, a full revision of the ICR package must be submitted to OMB.

CDC is requesting revision to the annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). NHIS is a major source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population and has been in the field every year since 1957. This household-based survey collects demographic and health-related information on a nationally representative sample of households throughout the country. This revision seeks approval to continue the NHIS for 2014-2016, to cycle in questions on various topics including heart disease and stroke, arthritis, hearing, food security, immunization, tobacco use, questions to measure the impact of the Affordable Care Act, child mental health, functioning and disability, hepatitis screening, and sexual identity, continue the increase in sample size funded under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, In 2014 we will introduce a Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander NHIS and conduct a web-based mult-imode follow-back survey of sample adult respondents from an earlier NHIS. The survey will focus on adult health, health care access and use, and health insurance coverage. Permission to conduct a test of incentive use with the NHIS is also sought.
