You have been chosen to take part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This research tells us about the health and nutrition of people in the United States. It combines an interview with a health exam. Our interviewer will ask questions about you and your family. Some questions are about your work and general health. Others are about health problems and other health topics. Health research using NHANES can be enhanced by combining your survey records with other data sources. The data gathered are used to link your answers to vital statistics, health, nutrition, and other related records. The questions today will take about one hour. We may contact you to check the work of your interviewer. We may contact you again for further studies.

Data gathered in this survey are used to study many health issues. We are required by law (read box below) to use your information for statistical research only and to keep it confidential.

You may take part in this survey or not. The choice is yours. You will not lose any benefits if you say no. If you choose to take part, you don’t have to answer every question and you can stop the interview at any time.

We can do additional health research by linking the interview and exam data of everyone listed under “SP NAME” in the gray box below to vital statistics, health, nutrition, and other related records. May we try to link these survey records with other records?

 Yes  No  N/A

Consent/Assent and Parental Permission for Specimen Storage and Continuing Studies

Print name of participant _____________________ ________________ ___________________________

First Middle Last

Q Why will a sample of blood and urine be kept for future health studies?

A We will store some of the blood and urine from persons who are examined in NHANES for future health studies. These samples will be frozen and kept in a specimen bank for as long as they last. You can request that your samples be removed at any time. Your participation is voluntary and no loss of benefits will result if you refuse.

Q What studies will be done with the samples?

A At this time, no specific studies are planned besides the tests included in the NHANES exam. As scientists learn more about health and diseases, other studies will be conducted that may include stored samples. There can be many additional studies on these samples.

We will keep strictly confidential all health data and samples that we collect in NHANES as required by Federal law. We take your privacy very seriously. All information that relates to or describes identifiable characteristics of individuals, a practice, or an establishment will be used only for statistical purposes. NCHS staff, contractors and agents will not disclose or release responses in identifiable form without the consent of the individual or establishment in accordance with section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 242m) and the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA, Title 5 of Public Law l 07-347). In accordance with CIPSEA every NCHS employee, contractor and agent have taken an oath and is subject to a jail term of up to five years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both if he or she willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you. In addition, NCHS complies with the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015. This law requires the Federal government to protect its information by using computer security programs to identify cybersecurity risks against federal computer networks.

Q Who can use the stored samples for further study?

A Researchers from Federal agencies, universities, and other scientific centers can submit proposals to use the stored specimens. These proposals will be reviewed for scientific merit

and then by a separate board that determines if the study proposed is ethical. The NHANES program will always know which samples belong to you or your child, but we will not give other researchers any information that could identify you or your child.

Q Will I receive results from any future testing of my specimens?

A Science and medicine are continually advancing. New tests and new ways of looking at results will be developed in the future. We can’t predict what tests will be done or what the results will mean for your health. The NHANES program will not contact you or your family with results from these future studies. We will describe the completed studies on our website. If you are interested in your results from any of these studies, you may call our toll-free number, 1-800 452-6115 to request your specific results as they come available.

Q What are the benefits and risks for allowing my blood or urine sample to be used for future studies?

A You will not directly benefit but these studies may eventually help the health of people in the future. The risk of giving a sample includes the minor risk associated with taking the blood sample. There may also be a risk that some people may use the information from these studies to exaggerate or downplay differences among people. The ethics board that will review all studies using these samples will attempt to prevent any misuse of the information gained from the NHANES samples.

Q How can I remove blood or urine samples from the specimen bank?

A In the future, if you want samples removed from the specimen bank, call us toll-free at 1-800-452-6115.

The results of continuing studies of your stored specimens may help find new ways to prevent, treat, and cure many diseases.
