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?
