Disability Followback Survey: Adult
Public Use data file
Background Information on the Disability Supplement to the NHIS, 1994-1995
In the United States there are an estimated 35-43 million people with physical
and mental disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was
signed into law in July, 1990, is one of the catalysts prompting legal and
policy reforms in the area of disability. However, policy-relevant data on
disability needed to understand its many aspects and impacts is either very
limited or nonexistent, particularly on a national level.
In an effort to meet some of these data needs, four federal offices (Office of
the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, Health and Human Services;
Office of Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Administration (SSA);
Office of Disability, SSA; Bureau of Maternal and Child Health, Health
Resources Administration) planned several national surveys about various
aspects of disability in the early 1990's.
Since many of their interests overlapped, these agencies decided to merge their
efforts into developing one survey to be included with the National Health
Interview Survey (NHIS) for two consecutive years. As plans for this survey
evolved, other organizations with an interest in disability participated
including:
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, DHHS
Administration on Developmental Disabilities, DHHS
Administration on Aging, DHHS
Disability Prevention Program, CDC
National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research, NICHD
Center for Mental Health Services, SAMHSA
Rehabilitation Services Administration, Dept. of Education
National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research,
Dept. of Education
Office of Research and Demonstrations, Health Care Financing
Administration
Office of Research and Statistics, SSA
Bureau of Transportation Statistics, DoT

Survey Goals and Objectives
One important goal of the NHIS Disability Survey (NHIS-D) was to develop a
series of questionnaires that would provide a useful set of measures while
maintaining a balance between the social, administrative, and medical
considerations involved in disability measurement. The NHIS-D was not limited
to one definition of disability; therefore, it allows analysts from varying
programs to combine data items in different ways to meet specific agency or
program needs. It is designed to collect data that can be used to understand
disability, to develop public health policy, to produce simple prevalence
estimates of selected health conditions, and to provide descriptive baseline
statistics on the effects of disabilities. The second phase questionnaires
provide greater detail on the use of services, problems, and barriers
encountered by the respondents.
Questionnaire Development and Data Collection Methods
Given such broad objectives for the NHIS-D, it was apparent very early in the
planning process that it would be impossible to collect all of the data needed
about disability in one interview. Thus, it was decided to use a two phase
data collection plan with a series of disability questionnaires.
Development of these questionnaires involved extensive input from federal
agencies as well as consultants from the research community. Drafts of the
questionnaires were reviewed by an outside panel of experts from the academic
and private research community. Questionnaires were also tested extensively
in the NCHS Questionnaire Design Research Laboratory and in field tests.
NHIS-D Phase I: The Phase I Disability questionnaire was administered at the
same time as the NHIS Core, and collected information about all members of the
NHIS households. For more information about the NHIS Core, please refer to the
two publications cited at the end of this document (1,2). As with the NHIS
Core, the NHIS-D Phase I questions were answered by any available adult in the
household who was knowledgeable about the health of other household members.
The Phase I questionnaire collected basic data on disability and was used as a
screening device to determine eligibility for the second phase of the survey.
Because of the low frequency of occurrence of disabilities within the non-
institutionalized civilian population, Phase I of the NHIS-D was fielded over
a two year period from 1994 through 1995. The sample size in 1994 for Phase I,
for persons of all ages, was 107,469 persons. The data from Phase I is
contained in separate data files for 1994 and for 1995 and is not included in
this file.
NHIS-D Phase II: Eligibility for the second phase of the NHIS-D for adults
and children (termed the "Disability Followback Survey or DFS") was originally
based not only on responses to the Phase I questionnaire, but also on responses
to other parts of the NHIS on activity limitation and receipt of disability
benefits. The specific inclusion criteria for Phase II for adults are
summarized in a table at the end of this document. These sample selection
criteria were applied to the unedited data from Phase I. However, because very
few adults (26) were eligible for (and completed) Phase II based only on their
core data, ultimately only persons completing the Phase I questionnaire were
included in the adult DFS data file. Interviewing for the two years of Phase
II began in August 1994 and was completed in 1997. This file contains only the
data for adults interviewed in 1994 and eligible on the basis of their responses
to the Phase I questionnaire. The data for those adults followed up and
interviewed on the basis of their 1995 Phase I questionnaire are found in a
separate data file.
Altogether, there were 4 DFS questionnaires: one for children, one for adults,
one for elderly persons (69 years of age and older) without any indication of
disability (also called the Supplement on Aging or SOA), and one for persons
with a past history of Polio. As stated above, only the data from the 1994 DFS
for adults is included in this file.
Since disabilities increase with age, detailed information on older persons,
even those currently not experiencing any type of disability, is needed for
planning purposes. The SOA questionnaire included a number of items identical
or similar to those on the Adult DFS questionnaire since many of the topics
are very relevant to the elderly population. This data is available from NCHS
in the 1994 SOA II file.
The Polio Questionnaire collected additional information about the symptoms and
impact of the illness at the time of initial diagnosis of polio and at various
times after the diagnosis. Information on current health problems was also
obtained. Whenever possible, self response by the polio survivor was required
for this component.
(The information above was adapted from a paper entitled "The 1994-95 National
Health Interview Survey on Disability" written by Gloria Simpson, David Keer,
and Marcie Cynamon of the National Center for Health Statistics)
PHASE II ADULT (or DFS) QUESTIONNAIRE
For adults, the DFS questionnaire obtained more extensive information about the
persons with disabilities on issues such as employment, use of services and
benefits, transportation and personal assistance needs, housing characteristics,
environmental barriers, and participation in social activities. The respondent
for the Adult DFS questionnaire was the individual identified from the Phase I
interview whenever possible.
SECTIONS OF THE ADULT DFS QUESTIONNAIRE
Section A: Housing and Long-term Care Services
Some persons with health problems need to live in special facilities while
others are able to live in adapted or modified homes in the community. This
section contains questions about the respondent's physical surroundings,
including barriers, modifications, and special features, both necessary and
unnecessary. This section also includes questions on the type of dwelling
place and services provided by living facilities other than private, non-
retirement residences. Other questions address nursing home stays and costs,
as well as stays in convalescent, board and care, assisted living or other
long-term care home, and facilities for those with a mental illness or mental
retardation.
Section B: Transportation
Lack of accessible transportation may be a serious problem for many people with
disabilities. This section contains questions on the use of cars and other
motor vehicles and any special equipment needed for these vehicles. It also
has questions on the use of public transportation and special transportation
services, as well as the frequency of travel in the previous week on a variety
of forms of local transportation and, in the previous six months on planes,
long distance buses, trains, and boats.
Section C: Social Activity
This section contains question on the frequency of various social activities
and contacts such as getting together or talking with friends and relatives and
going to events outside the home.
Section D: Work History/Employment
Employment history, accessibility, the need/presence of special aids, and
facilities at work are of special interest to the economic well-being of those
persons with disabilities. The skip patterns in this section are extremely
complex as a result of the differing work circumstances of the respondents.
Because of the complexity, a few respondents have no detailed information in
this section, other than whether or not they worked; these persons are
identified in location 902. A table indicating the flow pattern or sequence
of the questions is included as an appendix to this cover sheet. Section D
includes sets of parallel questions (to the extent appropriate) for those who
(1) have never worked, (2) are currently working, or (3) have worked in the
past, according to their work status group. The layout of this section has
been left in the same order as in the original questionnaire which means that
the same questions often appear in several places; which set of questions was
asked depends on which of 16 "work status" groups the individual belongs to.
A table that tracks specific questions, identifies which of the 16 groups were
asked that question, and the corresponding field location is also included as
an appendix to this cover sheet. When there are relatively minor question
changes such as verb tense, the question versions are labelled A and B and
listed consecutively in the table.
In addition to asking directly about the level of a person's ability to work,
this section contains questions on necessary accomodations, special equipment/
features that may be needed in order to work, actual and perceived barriers to
working, and perceived discrimination. For those working, the number of hours
usually worked per week is obtained, as well as their usual mode of transpor-
tation to work. All those who have worked are asked about whether they were
restricted in changing their work circumstances by their health problem(s).
Those who are no longer working are asked about the circumstances of stopping
work and whether they would like to or could return to work, and if so, what
accomodations, equipment, etc. they would need. All persons are asked about
whether they were involved in volunteer work in the past year.
Section E: Vocational Rehabilitation
This section contains questions on receipt of various types of rehabilitative
services, provision by the state rehabilitation agency, and a description of
the individual's current employment or other occupational circumstances, such
as school, day activity center, job training, etc.
Section F: Assistive Devices and Technologies
This section contains a detailed set of questions about the existence and use
of a wide variety of medical devices, supplies, and implants.
Section G: Health Insurance
Health insurance coverage is a particularly important issue for those with
chronic conditions and impairments. This set of questions, a condensed version
of the usual NHIS health insurance questions, is specific to the time the DFS
questions were asked. The answer may vary from the answers given to the
insurance questions at the time of NHIS core interview.
Section H: Assistance with Key Activities
One dimension of measuring ability or disability in individuals is the degree of
difficulty in performing "functional" activities such as the ability to walk
distances, sit or stand for 2 hours, stoop, reach out, carry loads, etc. in
addition to more standard questions about the ability to perform activities of
daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). This
section contains questions on these key activities, how long they have been a
problem, and the degree of difficulty. Questions on ADLs and IADLs include
whether the individual requires any help, the degree and type of help, needs
more help, or has equipment (ADLs only). For those reporting difficulty with
an ADL or IADL activity, the general condition(s) causing the problem is
obtained. There are also questions about urinary and bowel continence, falls
in the previous year, and the presence of bedsores or contractures.
If a person has received help or supervision, there are questions about the
helper, the activities they helped with, what the relationship is of the
helper (eg. relative, friend, volunteer, employee, etc.), the source of payment
if paid helper, the frequency of use, and the degree of satisfaction with the
"main" helper. There are also a few questions about staying alone for a short
period and the availability of help for longer periods of time. If the
respondent indicated a need for more help, there are questions about why the
reasons help is not available.
There are also questions about problems that may have occurred because the
respondent was home alone and whether a family member had to alter their
employment in some fashion because of the respondent's health.
Section I: Other Services
There are a variety of other medically oriented services and problems that may
affect all persons, but particularly those with functional impairments and other
disabilities. This section contains questions about medical treatments received
at home, prescription medicines and problems that arise in conjunction with
them, sources of medical care, frequency and types of practitioners seen,
referrals, and satisfaction with the doctor most frequently seen. In addition,
questions are included about a series of non-physician medical services
received in the past year, the cost of these services, as well as whether the
respondent was on a waiting list for these services. Services included are:
physical, occupational, speech, recreational, and respiratory therapists,
audiologist, visiting nurse, personal care attendant, reader or interpreter,
adult day care, alcohol or drug abuse, center for independent living, social
work, and transportation. Included are detailed questions about the nature of
services received from a Center for Independent Living and from adult day care
activities.
There are questions about admissions to facilities overnight, outpatient
services for mental health care, and the associated costs.
And finally, there are questions about coordination of care, including who
provides the coordination and what services are coordinated.
Section J: Self Direction
This section contains questions on who gives medical consent for the
individual. If 18 to 20 years of age, there are questions about having an
Individual Educational Plan or Individual Written Rehabilitation Plan,
services received through special education including job related education,
whether additional services are needed, and satisfaction with services
received.
Section K: Family Structure, Relationships, and Living Arrangements
Marital status and social support are generally considered to be related to
health status and risk of institutionalized. This section contains questions
on current marital status, the length of the current marital status, the
number of people living in the household, and their relationship to the
respondent. Questions are also asked about the number of living sons,
daughters, and the amount of contact there is. If living with persons other
than a spouse, the reason for the arrangement (financial or the respondent's
health problems) is ascertained. In addition, the vital status of parents, the
number of living siblings, and the frequency of contact with non-resident
family members is asked.
Sections L (Conditions and Impairments), Section M (Health Opinions and
Behaviors), and Section N (Community Services) are sections only asked of those
70 years of age and older in conjunction with the Supplement on Aging (SOA II)
and therefore are not included in this data file. They are included in the
SOA II file.
Section O only includes confidential information not available on any file.
Section P: Proxy Status
This section identifies anyone who assisted the respondent in replying to this
questionnaire or who was a proxy, answering the entire questionnaire on behalf
of the respondent, and the relationship of the assistant or the proxy to the
respondent.

Recodes
There are a limited number of recodes in these files; usually they were added
to summarize data in several locations. Generally, the recodes are located
close to the variables upon which it was based. When a recode was related to
several non-contiguous variables, the recode was placed at the end of the
relevant section of the data file.
Response rate
For the 1994 NHIS the Household response rate from core was 94.1%; the
response rate for Disability Phase 1 was 92.5%; and the response rate for the
DFS-Adult was 91.7%. The overall estimated response rate can be calculated
two ways. One method is to multiply all three response rates including the
original NHIS core sample and Phase 1 which were administered to all persons,
as well as the DFS-Adult which was only administered to a subset of respondents
to Phase 1. This method yields a response rate of 79.8%. The second method
is based on the responses to Phase 1 which determined the eligibility criteria
for DFS-Adult, as well as the respondents to DFS-Adult. This rate was
calculated by multiplying the response rate to Phase 1 (92.5) by the response
rate to DFS-Adult (91.7) yielding a rate of 84.8%.
Weights
Because the NHIS uses a multistage sample design to represent the civilian non-
institutionalized population of the United States, weights must be used to make
accurate estimates from the NHIS data. The weighting for the core NHIS in 1994
differs from that of 1995 because of the changes in the sample design in 1995.
For the DFS-Adult, a revised set of weights were calculated to adjust for the
additional non-response between Disability Phase 1 and DFS-Adult. The
re-weighting process was similar to the non-response adjustment for the 1994
NHIS Core data and used the age-sex-race categories. The health data from the
Core was examined before re-weighting to look for any evidence of bias due to
differences in health status between NHIS-D respondents and non-respondents;
no significant differences between the two groups were found. Because of this
re-weighting, the corresponding weights on the DFS-Adult, Disability Phase I,
and Core data files all differ.
There are two fields related to weighting on the DFS-Adult files:
The Final Annual Basic Weight (location 201-206) will be used in most analyses.
This weight should be used with the DFS-Adult data found in locations 411-3418
and with the person level variables in the beginning of the file.
The Final Quarter Basic Weight before age-sex-race adjustment (loc. 172-177)
is identical to the weight from the Core NHIS. This weight is required by some
software packages for variance estimation for surveys with complex sample
designs. The weight was adjusted for non-response twice (Phase 1 and DFS-Adult)
to create the Final Annual Basic Weight mentioned above. If an annualized
version of this quarter weight is needed, divide the value in this field by 4.
As mentioned above, the sample design for the NHIS was changed for 1995.
Disability data from 1994 can be combined with the data from 1995, however,
variances for the two years must be calculated separately.
There are a number of computer programs that yield variance estimates for data
based on complex sample surveys. Some are based on replication approaches and
others are based on Taylor linearization approaches. In addition to the Final
Quarter Basic Weight before age-sex-race adjustment (which is the weight prior
to post-stratification), included on the DFS-Adult file are the full sample
stratum identifier (loc. 179-181), the Pseudo PSU codes (loc. 187-189), the
type of substratum (loc. 178), the secondary sampling unit- a concatenation of
processing quarter, random recode of PSU number, week-Census Code, and segment
number (loc. 5-12), type of PSU (loc. 185) to permit the analyst the
capability of using such variance estimation procedures. These variables and
weights are necessary for directly calculating sampling variances.
To reduce respondent error, the recall period for questions about some events
is limited to two weeks. These events are bed days, work loss and school loss
days, and doctor visits. The two week variables are found in locations 98-107
and 120-121. Estimates of the total number of occurrences of these events in
the population can be derived as follows:
Number of events x 26 (number of two week periods in a
year) x Final Annual Basic Weight
= Total number of events occurring in the population
during 1994.
Example: Number of bed days (Location. 100-101) x 26 x Final Annual Basic
Weight (Location. 207-212) = total number of bed days reported for the
population in 1994.
The recall period for information on hospitalizations is 12 months. However,
in calculating the number of discharges (Locations 132-133, 137-138), only
discharges occurring in the past six months are counted. Therefore, the
weighted estimates must be calculated as follows:
Number of discharges x 2 x Final Annual Basic Weight
= Total number of discharges occurring in the population in 1994
Item non-response
Two different types of item non-response are possible in the data files:
responses of "don't know" or "refused" were assigned codes of "9", "99", or
"999"; when a question was not answered when it should have been or the answer
given was not possible, "Not ascertained" was assigned (a code of "8", "98", or
"998").
