The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (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. This request seeks a revised approval for
data collection for the 2017-2018 survey.
