National Nursing Home Survey: Next-of-Kin Component and Followup (NNHSF) Public-Use Data Files Survey description Survey description
Unlike the other components of the 1985 NNHS, the NOK Component used a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) system. Interviewing occurred between October 1985 and October 1986. NOK interviews were completed for 9,077 subjects. If the subject could not participate, interviews with proxy respondents (primarily, next of kin) were conducted. Administrators or other facility personnel were contacted for a few subjects who were in facilities and for whom no next of kin could be located. The National Nursing Home Survey Follow-up (NNHSF) is a longitudinal study that follows the cohort of current residents and discharged residents sampled from the 1985 NNHS. The NNHSF extends the period of observation of these utilization patterns by approximately 5 years after the baseline nursing home interview. The NNHSF was conducted in three waves. Wave I was conducted between August and December 1987, Wave II was conducted between July and November 1988, and Wave III was conducted between February and April 1990. The same questionnaire and CATI system were used for all waves. Respondents were asked about the subject's vital status, living arrangements, nursing home stays, hospital stays, and sources of payment for stays occurring between each wave interview. In addition, seven questions concerning the disposition of the subject's home appear at the end of the Wave III interview. If the subject could not participate, interviews with proxy respondents (primarily, next of kin) were conducted. For those subjects in facilities, administrators or other facility personnel were interviewed. Approximately 6,600 subjects were eligible for interviewing at Wave I, 4,000 subjects were eligible for interviewing at Wave II, and 3,100 subjects were eligible for interviewing at Wave III.
