Question Text

Medicare refers to the Federal health insurance coverage for persons 65+ years of age
and certain disabled persons under 65.
NHIS data have been linked with health-related records of government agencies such
as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Social Security
Administration. NHIS data have also been linked with death certificate data stored in
the National Death Index (NDI). The NDI is a database of death certificate information
provided to NCHS by State offices.
All personal identifying information is removed from the linked data files.
These are some examples of possible research studies using NHIS data together with
other health-related records or the NDI:
[blt] Predicting the number of disabled persons in the U.S. based on health conditions
reported in the NHIS.
[blt] Predicting the costs of Medicare based on health conditions reported in the NHIS.
[blt] Studying the risk of certain diseases for persons with and without health insurance.
[blt] Studying the health characteristics of people who retire early.
[blt] Calculating how long a person in the U.S. might live, based on his or her education,
income, or race and ethnicity.

Indicate both a general and specific function for employers and businesses. For
example, in "copper mine" the word "mine" is general and the word "copper" is specific.
For Government Agencies: If the title clearly designates the main function of the
agency, enter the name of the agency (e.g., the U.S. Census Bureau.) If the main
function is not clear from the title, ask for and report the division or branch for which the
person works.
For Firms with more than one business: If activities are carried on in separate places,
describe the business in which the person actually worked. If activities are carried on in
the same place, describe the main activity.
For household or domestic workers: Determine if the person works for a business or
private home. If it is a business, enter the name of the business. If it is a private home,
enter "private home".
Manufacturing: Makes and sells its products in large lots to other manufacturers,
wholesalers, or retailers.
Wholesale trade: Buys products in large quantities for resale to retailers, industrial
users, or to other wholesalers.
Retail trade: Sells primarily to individual consumers and seldom makes products.
Some other kinds of business: Any other type of establishment that renders a service to
individuals and/or organizations. Examples are hotels, dry cleaners, advertising
agencies, restaurants, and automobile repair shops.

Days in bed are any days during which the sample adult stayed in bed MORE than half
of the day because of illness or injury. "More than half of the day" is defined as more
than half of the hours that the sample adult is usually awake. Count as days in bed all
days a sample adult spent as an overnight patient in a hospital, sanitarium, nursing
home, etc., whether or not the patient was actually lying in bed, even if there was no
illness or injury.
A bed is anything used for lying down or sleeping, including a sofa, cot or mattress.
Always probe for an exact number. If the sample adult reports a range or interval,
assist the sample adult in making an estimate by probing. For example, you might ask
"Could you give me a more exact number?"

Question Text

"Problem" is the sample adult's perception of a departure from physical, mental or
emotional well-being. This incudes specific health problems, such as a disease or
condition, a missing extremity or organ, or any type of impairment. It also includes
more vague disorders not always thought of as health related problems or illnesses
such as alcoholism, drug dependency or reaction, senility, depression, retardation, etc.
"Special Equipment" is any device, tool, utensil, instrument, implement, etc., used as an
aid in performing an activity because of a physical, mental or emotional problem. This
incudes the use of adult "diapers" for incontinence. For example: a spoon is not
normally considered as "special equipment"; however, a uniquely designed or
functioning one used for eating by a person because of
physical, mental, or emotional problems is considered "special equipment."

"Problem" is the sample adult's perception of a departure from physical, mental or

more vague disorders not always thought of as health related problems or illnesses

"Special Equipment" is any device, tool, utensil, instrument, implement, etc., used as an

"Difficult" is respondent defined.

on the flashcard, reread the question emphasizing the wording of the

Question Text

The next question is about electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes. You may also know
them as vape-pens, hookah-pens, e-hookahs, or e-vaporizers. Some look like
cigarettes, and others look like pens or small pipes. These are battery-powered,
usually contain liquid nicotine, and produce vapor instead of smoke.
Have you EVER used an e-cigarette EVEN ONE TIME?
*Read if necessary: E-cigarettes and similar products can be bought as one-time,
disposable products, as re-usable kits with a cartridge, or with refillable chambers.
These usually contain a liquid, often called an “e-liquid” or “e-juice.” Popular brands
include NJOY, BLU, LOGIC, and VUSE.

*Read if necessary: “Cigarillos” are medium cigars that sometimes are sold with plastic
or wooden tips. Some common brands are Black and Mild, Swisher Sweets, Dutch
Masters and Phillies Blunts. Cigarillos are usually sold individually or in packs of 5 or
fewer. Little filtered cigars look like cigarettes and are usually brown in color. Like
cigarettes, little filtered cigars have a spongy filter and are sold in packs of 20. Some
common brands are Prime Time and Winchester.
*Read if necessary: Do not include electronic cigars or e-cigars.

There are currently two types of tetanus shots available today. One is the Td or
tetanus-diphtheria vaccine and the other is called Tdap or Adacel (trademark) or
Boostrix (trademark). They are similar except the Tdap shot also includes a pertussis
(per-TUH-sis) or whooping cough vaccine. Thinking back to your most recent tetanus
shot, did your health care provider tell you or did the vaccine information sheet say the
vaccine included the pertussis or whooping cough vaccine? The shot is often called
Tdap or ADACEL (trademark) or BOOSTRIX (trademark).

These next questions are about dizziness or balance problems. Have you
EVER had a problem with dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling as if you
are going to pass out or faint, or with unsteadiness or feeling offbalance? Do not include times when drinking alcohol.
At what age were you FIRST BOTHERED by dizziness,
lightheadedness, feeling as if you are going to pass out or

QuText:

QuText: #40

dizziness or balance, Enter '2' Examples include respondents who are

Note: after examining the 2008 NHIS data, I learned we should add back these two categories (shown in
blue: “severe fatigue” and “fear of heights”) in order to approximate the same number or “base” for
asking #60… with these two added back in, we only lose 2.5% of the those who answered ‘Yes’ to
EITHER #40 OR #60 in the earlier survey, which is pretty good compression, I think. – Howard
