Cancer Control Data File, 1992
DSN: CC37.NHIS92.CANCCNTL
ABSTRACT
1992 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)
Cancer Control Data File
Introduction
The 1992 NHIS included two special supplements on cancer: Cancer Epidemiology
and Cancer Control. In each NHIS household, a sample adult respondent was
randomly selected to complete one of these 2 cancer supplements (ie., the
sample was split between the two cancer surveys). These supplements are
similar to 1987 NHIS Cancer Epidemiology and Cancer Control surveys;
however, there were changes in each questionnaire for 1992. Due to budgetary
constraints in 1992, these two cancer supplements were taken out of the field
after the second week of quarter 3 and thus, did not run for a full year.
Tape Layout
The 1992 Cancer Control data file contains data items on 11 selected topic
areas. Some of these topics are repeated on the Cancer Epidemiology file. The
areas and the file locations for the Cancer Control file are listed below:
Section : File Location:
N- Acculturation 336-362
O- Access to Medical Care 365-385
P- Height and Weight 386-402
Q- Screening Knowledge and Practice 405-645
R- Cancer Survivorship 651-729
S- General Knowledge and Attitudes 730-783
T- Smoking Habits 784-798
U- Current Smoker 799-858
V- Former Smoker 859-901
W- Other Tobacco Use 902-963
X- Workplace Tobacco Smoke 964-987
The 1992 Cancer Control file is structured as follows:
a. The NHIS person record from the Core questionnaire
(locations 1-200)
b. Weight fields (locations 201-212)
c. The Cancer Control data (locations 336-987)
Sample features and response rate:
The 1992 survey was designed to oversample the Hispanic population. This was
accomplished by re-contacting the Hispanic participants in the 1991 NHIS and
asking them to participate in the 1992 NHIS. Oversample households can be
identified by using the "processing year" variable (tape locations 3-4).
The response rate for the 1992 Cancer Control was 87.0% and was calculated as
follows:
Household response rate from Core (95.7 percent) multiplied by
the Cancer Control response rate (90.9 percent) = 87.0 percent
Item Non-response
Item non-response was handled in several ways in the 1992 file:
(1) "Not ascertained" (codes 8, 98, or 998)- impossible
codes or blanks when there should have been a
response.
(2) "refused" (codes 7 or 97)- respondent refused to answer
the question.
(3) "Don't know" (codes 9, 99, or 999) - a response of "don't
know" was given.
For some items, there was not meaningful difference between "not ascertained"
and "don't know" or the codes for "not ascertained" were used to indicate an
actual response. In these cases, codes of 9 (or 99 or 999) were used.
Occasionally a code of 8 was used to represent an actual response; in these
cases another code was used to represent "not ascertained".
Weights and Variances
Since the NHIS uses a multistage sampling design to represent the civilian non-
institutionalized population of the United States, weights must be used to make
accurate estimates based on data from the NHIS. Two weights are included on
the 1991 Cancer Control File:
a. The Final Basic Weight (locations 207-212) for the Cancer Control file is
calculated for each sample person included in this file. This weight is the
functional equivalent of the Annual Final Basic Weight found on the NHIS Person
Record of the Core questionnaire. The Cancer Control Final Basic Weight
differs from the weight for the same person on the Core data file in that the
Cancer sample was re-weighted to account for non-response, for the selection of
one adult per NHIS family, for the use of a split sample, and for the shorter
time period that the survey was in the field.
b. The Interim Basic Weight (before age-sex-race adjustment) is also provided
since it is required by some software packages for variance estimation for
surveys like the NHIS with complex sample designs (locations 201-206).
Those file sections which are the same on both the Cancer Epidemiology and
Cancer Control files can be merged. However, the weights should be halved for
estimate production.
Estimating numbers of events or conditions
To reduce respondent error, the recall period for questions about some events
in the CORE questionnaire is limited to two weeks. These events are: bed days,
other restricted activity days, work loss and school loss days, and doctor
visits. The two-week variables are found in locations 98-107 and 120-121 of
the Cancer Control tape. 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 Basic Weight
= Total number of events occurring in the population during
the data year, i.e. 1992.
Example: Number of bed days (loc. 100-101) x 26 x Final Basic Weight (loc. 207-
212) = total number of bed days reported for the population in 1992.
The recall period for acute incidence conditions is also two weeks and an
annual estimate of the total number of acute incidence conditions is calculated
using the same procedures as for two-week events:
Number of acute incidence conditions x 26 x Final Basic Weight
= Total number of acute incidence conditions occurring in the
population during 1992.
NOTE: An acute incidence condition is an acute condition with
onset during the two weeks preceding the date of interview.
The recall period for information on hospitalizations is 12 months. However,
in calculating number of discharges and number of days in the hospital
(loc. 132-141), only discharges occurring in the past 6 months are counted.
Therefore, the weighted estimates for these events must be calculated as
follows:
Number of discharges x 2 x Final Basic Weight
= Total number of discharges occurring in the population in
1992.
Number of days in hospital associated with discharges
occurring in the past 6 months x 2 x Final Basic Weight
= Total number of days of hospitalization occurring in the
population in 1992.
Calculations of rates for events and conditions
The number of events or conditions estimated for the population, as described
above, can be used as the basis for calculating rates of occurrence of these
events (or condition) per person and per 100 persons for the total U.S.
population and for various population subgroups.
NOTE: Only rates can be estimated from these data. The percent of the
population experiencing a particular type of event during the data year cannot
be estimated. The percent of the population experiencing the event in the
reporting period (eg., two weeks) can be estimated but is generally not
meaningful.
Data on hospital episodes and days, based on a 12-month recall are in locations
122-131. The Final Basic Weight is used for calculating estimates of these
events in the same way it is used for all other person-based variables. These
variables do permit estimating the percent of the population experiencing a
hospital episode in the past year and the percent of the population having a
specified number of hospital days.
Guidelines for Citation of Data Source

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 informa-
tion 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 characteristics that
might lead to identifications, 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, the undersigned gives the following assurances with respect to
all NCHS data sets:
I will not use nor permit others to use the data in these sets in anyway
except for statistical reporting and analysis;
I 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;
I 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.
I 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 safeguarded or
destroyed as requested by NCHS, and (d) no one else will be informed of the
discovered identity.
My signature indicates my 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.
