 Guidelines for Citation of Data

 With the goal of mutual benefit, the National Center for Health Statistics
 (NCHS) requests that recipients of data files cooperate in certain actions
 related to their use.

 Any published material derived from the data should acknowledge NCHS as the
 original source.

 The suggested citation to appear at the bottom of all tables is as follows:

       Source:  National Center for Health Statistics (1992)

 When cited in a bibliography, the suggested citation should read:

       Documentation, National Health Interview Survey of AIDS Knowledge
       and Attitudes, 1992 (machine readable data file and documentation),

 The published material should also include a disclaimer that credits any
 analyses, interpretations, or conclusions reached to the author (recipient
 of the data file) and not to NCHS, which is responsible only for the
 initial data.  Consumers who wish to publish a technical description of the
 data should make a reasonable effort to insure that the description is not
 inconsistent with that published by NCHS.


          1992 NHIS AIDS Knowledge and Attitudes Public Use Data Tape


      This tape contains the part of the 1992 National Health Interview
      Survey related to AIDS knowledge and attitudes.  For this survey,
      information was collected from one randomly selected adult (18
      years and older) from half of the families who participated in the NHIS.
      Due to the length of other NHIS questionnaires in the field in 1992,
      the AIDS questionnaires was administered in only one-half, of NHIS
      sample households.  In 1991, it was administed in every NHIS sample
      household.  The AIDS survey covered several different topic areas:

            1.  Sources of Information

            2.  Knowledge-included true-false items on modes of transmission
            and pathogenesis; respondents were also asked to rate the
            likelihood of transmission of the AIDS virus by various forms
            of casual contact

            3.  Experience with blood donation

            4.  Experience with HIV antibody testing

            5.  Awareness of AZT

            6.  Perceptions of the effectiveness of condoms and knowledge
                about condom use

            7.  Perceived risk of acquiring HIV infection

      The response rate to the AIDS survey was 83.2 percent and was
      calculated as follows:

           The response rate to the NHIS Core questionnaire was 95.7
           percent.  Of the eligible sample persons from the CORE, 86.9
           percent responded to the AIDS questionnaire.  Multiplying these
           two response rates together yields the overall response rate to
           the AIDS section (83.2 percent).

      Each record included on this AIDS tape contains a final weight
     (tape locations 201-206).  Weights must be used to make accurate
     estimates based on this data tape.  Because the AIDS survey
     included only one adult in one-half of NHIS sample families, the
     weight on this tape is different from the weight for the same adult
     on the NHIS Core Person tape.
