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 nonsubstantive change request seeks
approval to pilot test blood collection, via venipuncture, from 100
study participants less than 12 months of age. The burden hours for
this project have already been accounted for within the
Developmental Projects & Special Projects line in the most
recently approved revision.

The revision requests a
reduction in burden. The burden table has be reformatted to show
each level of possible participation (screener, interview, exam,
post exam etc.) in NHANES as a separate line item. Past clearance
documents used an average participant burden across all the
possible levels of participation. The reduction in the burden
estimates for the main parts of NHANES (screener through post MEC
interviews) is due to streamlining the questionnaire instruments.
The 24-hour blood pressure pilot represents a new burden
request.
