3.1 Tobacco Use and NHIS Supplements
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Supplements
In 1985,
the first NHIS Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Supplement (HPDP)
covered a variety of topics, including a section on cigarette smoking,
which allowed cigarette smoking variables to be analyzed in conjunction with
other health topics. Earlier tobacco related questions (1965-1983) were
not combined with other supplementary topics.
Similar
large health promotion and disease prevention supplements were fielded in
1990, 1991 and 1998, in order to track the Healthy People 1990, and 2000
objectives. The 1991 and 1998 supplements included questions on other
tobacco use.
Smaller
sections tracking Year 2000 Health objectives were fielded between 1993 and
1995 and contained some questions on smoking. The 2010 Healthy People
objectives supplement to the 2002 NHIS did not contain any additional
questions on tobacco use beyond the core questions on cigarette smoking.
Cancer Supplements
Similar
NHIS Cancer Supplements were fielded in 1987 and 1992. Because the whole
interview was considered to be too long for administering to every
respondent, the questionnaire was split into two booklets, “Cancer Control”
and “Epidemiology”. Each was administered to a half sample of sample adult
respondents. Smoking questions were included in both booklets, but other
tobacco related questions appeared only in the Cancer Control booklet. The
resulting data were released in two supplemental files for each year.
For the
2000 Cancer Supplement, there was only one questionnaire which was
administered to all sample adults. The 2000 cancer data were appended to
the sample adult file and included questions on other tobacco use. The
one-interview format was continued in 2005, but the cancer data were
released in a separate file.
Pregnancy and Smoking Sections
Questions
on cigarette smoking during pregnancy were part of the HPDP Supplements of
1985, 1990, 1991 and 1998. However, these questions were not limited to the
sample adult. They were asked of all women aged 18-49 living in the
household who had had a live birth within the past 5 years. The data were
released in a file that was separate from the core and the HPDP files.
In 2005,
questions on smoking during pregnancy were included in the Cancer Supplement
for the first time. Unlike the previous versions, they were asked only of a
subset of the sample adults (women aged 18-44, who had had a live birth
within the past 5 years). In 2005, this topic was included in the Cancer
Supplement file for the first time.
Adolescent Smoking Surveys
Other
surveys fielded by the Division of Health Interview Statistics (DHIS) on
adolescent smoking include: TAPS I, TAPS II and the 1992 Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS).
