DATA USE AGREEMENT
The Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m(d)) provides that
the data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) may be used only for the purpose for which they were
obtained; any effort to determine the identity of any reported
cases, or to use the information for any purpose other than for
health statistical reporting and analysis, would violate this
statutory restriction and the conditions of the data use
agreement. NCHS does all it can to assure that the identity of
data subjects cannot be disclosed; all direct identifiers, as
well as any characteristics that might lead to identifications1
are omitted from the data set. Nevertheless, it may be possible
in rare instances, through complex analysis and with outside
information, to ascertain from the data sets the identity of
particular persons or establishments. Considerable harm could
ensue if this were done.
Therefore, by using this data and documentation, the user gives
the following assurances with respect to all NCHS public-use data sets:
The user
will not use nor permit others to use the data in these
sets in any way except for statistical reporting and
analysis;
will not release nor permit others to release the data
sets or any part of them to any person who is not a member
of this organization, except with the approval of NCHS;
will not attempt to link nor permit others to attempt to
link the data set with individually identifiable records
from any other NCHS or non-NCHS data set.
will not attempt to use the data sets to learn the
identity of any person or establishment included in any set;
and
If the identity of any person or establishment should be
discovered inadvertently, then (a) no use will be made of
this knowledge, (b) the Director of NCHS will be advised of
the incident, (c) the information that would identify an
individual or establishment will be 5afeguarde~ or
destroyed, as requested by NCHS, and (d) no one else will be
informed of the discovered identity.
Use of this documentation and the actual datasets indicates
your agreement to comply with the above-stated statutorily based
requirements with the knowledge that deliberately making a false
statement in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department
or agency of the Federal Government violates 18 U.S.C. 1001 and is
Punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 or up to 5 years in prison.

DESCRIPTION
The National Nursing Home Survey Followup (NNHSF) is a
longitudinal study which follows the cohort of current residents
and discharged residents sampled from the 1985 National Nursing
Home Survey (NNHS) (1-8). The study is a collaborative project
between the National Center for Health Statistics, (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institute on
Aging (NIA). The NNHSF builds on the data collected in the 1985
NNHS by providing longitudinal information on nursing home and
hospital utilization. Wave I of the NNHSF was conducted from
August through December 1987. Wave II of the NNHSF was conducted
from July through November of 1988, approximately 12 months after
the completion of Wave I.
The 1985 NNHS collected a variety of information about long-term
care facilities and their residents. Data were collected on a
sample of patients who were current residents at the time of
contact with the facility as well as a sample of discharged that
occurred 12 months prior to the facility contact. There were
5,243 current residents and 6,023 discharges. For the current
residents, detailed information was collected regarding
dependence in activities of daily living, functional impairments,
diagnoses, the receipt of services, cognitive and emotional
status, charges, source of payments, and a number of other topics
of considerable prognostic significance. For the discharged
residents, detailed information was obtained regarding diagnoses
and services, nursing home and hospital use prior to the sampled
nursing home stay, hospitalizations during the sample stay, and
nursing home readmissions subsequent to the sample stay.
To supplement the current and discharged resident components, the
1985 NNHS included a Next-of-Kin (NOK) component. The NOK
interview, using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI)
system, was designed to collect information about current and
former nursing home residents that is not generally available
from patient records or other sources in the nursing home.
Information on the resident's characteristics prior to admission
and history of prior nursing home utilization was collected. The
Next-of-Kin questionnaire was administered to a family member,
the former resident, an institutional representative, or another
knowledgeable person who could answer questions about the
resident. All residents for whom a Current Resident
Questionnaire (CRQ) or a Discharged Resident Questionnaire (DRQ)
had been completed during the field data collection portion of
the NNHS were eligible for the NOK component. The National
Nursing Home Survey Followup obtains additional information on a
portion of the residents for whom a CRQ or a DRQ was completed.
Wave I interviews were completed for 6,001 subjects. At the time
of contact, 1,998 subjects were found to be deceased.
Wave II of the NNHSF is designed to obtain additional information
on those subjects not known to be deceased to Wave I. The Wave
II cohort is identified and grouped as follows: (1) Wave I
subjects for whom an interview was obtained, who were alive at
the time of the interview, and who did not require a facility
followup for complete information; (2) Wave I subjects for whom
an interview was obtained, who were alive at the time of the
interview, but who required a facility followup to obtain
complete information; and (3) Wave I subjects for whom no
interview attempt was made through interviewer error but who were
not known to be deceased. The 3,987 subjects identified included
3,870 in group (1), 60 in group (2), and 57 in group (3). Wave
II interviews were completed for 3,868 subjects. At the time of
contact, 723 subjects were found to be deceased.
The Preferred respondent at followup for both waves was someone
who knew about the subject's experiences since the last contact.
Facility respondents were used if the subject was a nursing home
resident at the last contact and community based respondents were
used if the subject had been discharged into the community. In
order to maximize the amount of information collected, more than
one respondent could be contacted. For example, if a community
based respondent was contacted and in the course of the interview
it was learned that the subject has been readmitted to a
facility, that facility was then contacted, if necessary, to
obtain information on utilization since that admission as well as
information on current status. Conversely, if the facility was
contacted initially and in the course of the interview it was
learned that the subject had been discharged, a new respondent
was contacted (either a relative or the subject depending on the
type of discharge) to provide information on the subject's
current status.
The Wave II interviews were conducted using the same Computer
Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) system as in Wave I. With
CATI, data collection and data entry are concurrent and computer-
controlled. Two versions of the CATI - one to restrict reference
dates to 1987 for cases completed in Wave I, another to allow
earlier reference dates for cases not completed in Wave I, were
used. The CATI program was also altered to allow for a second
facility respondent in order to obtain complete information on
the subject. Second facilities were not contacted in Wave I.
The CATS questionnaire used for Wave II was the same
questionnaire that was developed for the first wave. Unless
otherwise specified on the questionnaire, the same set of
questions was asked irrespective of whether the respondent was a
subject, proxy, or a facility official. Information was
collected on vital status, nursing home and hospital utilization
since the last contact, current living arrangements, Medicare
number, and source of payment.
Approximately 1-2 weeks before the start of the data collection
Period, advance letters were mailed to respondents. A letter was
mailed to each primary respondent for whom an address was
available. A special introductory Paragraph which includes the
contents of the letter was added to the questionnaire for
respondents for whom no address was available. Upon contacting
the appropriate respondent, the interviewer Proceeded with the
interview, if Possible, or scheduled a time to call back. A
minimum of five attempts were made to contact each Potential
respondent for whom there appeared to be a workable telephone
number.
Many of the respondents were the facilities in which the Wave I
residents lived at the time of the Wave I interview. As in Wave
I, where Possible, those facilities that would be requested to
answer the Wave II guestionnaire for more than one subject were
identified and sent one letter listing the subjects about whom
the facility would be asked. This reduced the number of contacts
with these facilities and eliminated the need for multiple
letters to the same nursing home. The CATI questionnaire was
Programmed to allow the interviewer to complete all cases within
a nursing home on one call without having to reread the
introduction. If a nursing home refused to Participate or could
not be contacted, all cases that should have been completed by
the facility were changed to "Proxy" interviews. In some cases
the names of the proxies to be contacted were given by the
facility; in most cases, however, interviewers had to use the
contact names entered into the CATI respondent roster for the NOK
and Wave I surveys.
If the designated respondent could or would not Participate, the
interviewer attempted to obtain the name and telephone number of
another potential respondent. If the designated respondent could
not be located, other contact names that were in the CATS file
were examined and attempts were made to locate and interview
another individual.
ESTIMATION PROCEDURES
This micro-data tape is similar to the Next-of-Kin Component of
the 1985 National Nursing Home Survey file and Wave I of the
NNHSF in that it combines data on subsets of the original current
resident and discharged resident samples. However, the current
resident and discharged resident samples were designed to be
analyzed separately. While it is Possible to combine the samples
in certain instances, the procedures for doing so are not
discussed here. Moreover, each record on the tape represents a
person rather than an event. Thus, an individual can only have
one record on the file. The discharge resident sample is an
event sample and an individual could have multiple records on the
file or have records on both the discharged resident file and the
current resident file.
Decisions concerning the appropriate way to weight the data
should take into account the objectives of the analysis, the
design of the current resident and discharged resident samples,
and non-response to the resident questionnaires and/or the NOK.
Some analyses may require more complicated weighting strategies
than are discussed here. A statistician should be consulted in
those instances. The data tape contains the original weights for
the current and discharged resident samples and the two sets of
weights derived for the NOK file. A discussion of these weights
and a description of the NOK file is provided in the Public Use
Data Tape Documentation of the Next-of-Kin Component of the 1985
National Nursing Home Survey. Weights have not been constructed
which take into account non-response in the NNHSF. However, non-
response rates are low. In addition, NOK weights are not
available for subjects not successfully interviewed in the NOK
which complicates weighting procedures even further.
The weighting procedures used to analyze this data will depend on
the objectives of the analysis. For example, information on
utilization history from the NOK and the NNHSF can be used to
supplement the information available on the resident
questionnaires. In this case, the data from the NNHSF and NOK
tapes would be matched to the CRQ/DRQ tapes and non-response to
the NOK would be treated as missing data. The weights provided
on the CRQ and DRQ data tapes are included on the Wave II tape in
columns 485-492 and 509-516, respectively. These weights do not
include adjustments for non-response to the NOK or to the Wave I
or Wave II interviews.
Alternatively, the data available on the NOK may be central to
the analysis and the investigator might want to use weights that
take non-response to the NOK into account. Non-response to the
NOK questionnaire can result from failure to obtain sufficient
information on the CRQ/DRQ to contact a "next-of-kin" or failure
to obtain an interview given that name and phone number of a
respondent was obtained. Two weights for each sample case
(current resident or discharged resident) are provided for this
purpose. One of these estimators weights the NOK data to the
number of CRQ or DRQ cases with an identified "next-of-kin"
respondent. This estimator is the product of the baseweight for
sample current or discharged residents, adjustments for the
Presence of "next-of-kin", and adjustments for non-response to
the NOK questionnaire given a respondent was identified. The
second estimator weights the NOK data to the total number of DRQ
(or CRQ) cases. This estimator assumes that persons without a
"next-of-kin" have essentially the same characteristics as those
for whom "next-of-kin" were listed. This estimator is the
Product of the CRQ/DRQ baseweight and adjustments for non-
response to the NOK questionnaire as indicated Previously. As
noted earlier, the NOK weights do not include adjustments for
non-response to the Wave I or Wave II questionnaires.
The use of the weights provided are complicated by the design
features of the CRQ, DRQ, NOK and the NNHSF. Recall that the DRQ
is an event sample. That is, events, rather than persons are
sampled. Thus, an individual can appear more than once on the
sampling list. While the CRQ is a sample of persons and not
events, some current residents were also included in the
discharge sample if they were discharged from the nursing home in
the last 12 months. The NOK component and the NNHSF, while using
the basic CRQ and DRQ samples, follow persons. This is a
Particular problem for the DRQ sample. All information for
Persons sampled more than once is included on one record with the
reference date for the utilization history questions (Question 24
of the NOK) being the earliest sampled discharge date. Thus,
information on the characteristics of the person at the time of
admission (Questions 2-19) is collected only for this first
sampled stay. If an investigat0r wants to make inferences about
discharge "events" it is necessary to add cases to the file which
duplicate the information for those persons who fall in the
discharge sample more than once. Information which identifies
the ID numbers of each discharged resident's other sampled stays
is found in positions 53-59, and 60-66 of the NOK. When records
are duplicated to add cases to represent all discharged resident
stays, the ID numbers in positions 1-7 of the added records
should be changed to match the ID numbers identified in positions
53-59, and 60-66 of the original record. For example, a resident
has two stays on the discharge file and the first sampled
discharge has an ID number of 1000001 (positions 1-7). The ID
number of the second stay (1000002), is stored in positions 53-
59. When the information is duplicated, the ID for the duplicate
stay should be changed to 1000002. In addition, stay information
must be rearranged to identify the appropriate sampled stay and
stay sequences for each new record. Furthermore, information on
subject characteristics prior to admission for other than the
first sampled stay will be missing.
Similarly, if the investigator wishes to make inferences about
all current residents, it is necessary to add current resident
cases to the file for each resident with stays in both the
discharge and current resident samples by duplicating the
appropriate information for the discharge resident case and
changing the status to "current resident" by changing the ID
number. For example, cases with ID numbers in positions 67-73 of
the NOK should be duplicated and treated as CRQ cases with the ID
number changed to the CRQ ID found in positions 67-73. Stay
information must also be arranged to identify the appropriate
sampled stay and stay sequences for each new record. Moreover,
because all of these cases were originally sampled as current
resident cases (but retained as discharge cases on the NOK file),
the CRQ weights in NOK positions 388-395, 396-403, and 404-411
should be used to make estimates for current residents. The DRQ
weight fields could be blanked out for these resident cases. The
cases that were included in both the CRQ and DRQ samples are the
only cases on the NOK file with both CRQ and DRQ weights.
Analyses which make use of the DRQ sample to make inferences
about persons must take into account the fact that the
probability of being selected for the survey increases with the
number of nursing home stays during the sample period, i.e,
persons with many stays are more likely to be selected into the
samples. There are two ways to do this. One way is to restrict
estimates to cases where the sampled stay is the first eligible
stay that the individual had during the sampling frame. Or, the
investigator can adjust the baseweight by dividing by the
probability of an individual (not events) being selected and
adjusting for non-response. The calculation of the probability
of selection for an individual with multiple stays is complex and
should be computed under the guidance of a statistician. The
information needed to do both of these modifications is available
in the DRQ files. Additional complications result from analyses
which involve combining the CRQ and DRQ samples.
