PREFACE
The basic NHIS tape files are created and maintained by Record Type. The
contents of these tape files are presented in the Outline of Items and Codes
for each record type. Note that Household items in tape locations 3-24,
178 and 182-186 are repeated in all records associated with a household;
Person items in tape locations 25-92 are repeated in all records associated
with a person.
Users of the tape files should take note of the following tape character-
istics:
1. Type of Record (Tape Locations 1-2)
10 = Household Record - The Household file contains one household record
for each interviewed household and each Type A non-interviewed
household (see Household locations 28-29).
20 = Person Record - The Person file contains one person record for
each person for whom information was obtained in an interviewed
household.
30 = Condition Record - The Condition file contains one condition record
for each reported condition.
40 = Doctor Visit Record - The Doctor Visit file contains one record for
each reported two-week doctor visit (includes telephone calls).
50 = Hospital Record - The Hospital file contains one record for each
reported hospitalization (twelve-month recall).
2. File Sequence
Each file is in sequence by the following identifying items:
Tape
Item Locations
Quarter 5
PSU - Random recode 6-8
Week - Census code 9-10
Segment 11-12
Household Number 13-14
Person Number (Blank on Household Record) 15-16
Record Serial Number (Blank on Household and 17-18
Person Records)
2. File Sequence - continued
The Quarter x PSU x Week x Segment x Household Number identifies a
household.
The Person Number identifies a person within a household. Records belonging
to a single family within a household can be identified by using the house-
hold identifiers (specified above) and location 62. Unrelated individuals
will have an "&" or "-" in this location. Persons within a single family
will have the same numeric value from 0-9 in this location on all family
records.
The Record Serial Number identifies multiple records within a Record Type
for a person; for example, condition records for a person are identified
with a unique number beginning with 01 for each condition associated with
the person. A person may have zero, one, or a multiple number of
condition, hospital, and doctor visit records.
3. Other Tape Characteristics
.1 Headers and trailers = Standard IBM labels
.2 Density = 1600 BPI
.3 Record length = Fixed length of 335 bytes
.4 Blocksize = 3350 (10 records per block)
.5 Tape format = All fields are in character format.
.6 Data Set Names:
HOUSEHOLD = HISY1990.HOUSEHLD
PERSON = HISY1990.PERSONSX
CONDITION = HISY1990.CONDITON
HOSPITAL = HISY1990.HOSPITAL

INTRODUCTION
Since 1957, the National Center for Health Statistics has conducted the
National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) annually. It includes a "core" set of
questions on health-related variables which generally change little from
year-to-year and supplements which can vary annually. In 1982, however,
fairly substantial changes were made to parts of the core. These changes
reflect different concepts in the measurement of health-related variables.
Therefore, data derived from these changed concepts, particularly limitation
of activity, acute conditions, disability days and doctor visits, should not
be compared to data gathered before 1982. A discussion of these changes and
the effect on resulting statistics are contained in the Series 1, No. 18
report and in a special appendix to the Current Estimates, 1982 (Series 10,
No. 150). More information on the survey in general and the 1990 version, in
particular, is found in the Current Estimates Series report included with this
public use tape documentation. The NHIS is a personal interview household
survey using a nationwide sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized
population of the United States. The sample is chosen in such a way that each
person included has a known non-zero probability of selection. These
probabilities of selection along with adjustments for nonresponse and
poststratification are reflected in the sample weights which are provided on
the Public Use Tape.
Use of Sample Weights
Since the NHIS uses a multistage sample designed to represent the civilian
noninstitutionalized population of the United States, it is necessary to
utilize the person's basic weight for proper analysis of the data. In
addition to the design and ratio adjustments included in the person basic
weight, the person weight is further modified depending on the variable
selected (e.g., 2-week bed days), the length of the recall period, and the
period of time for which the estimate is to be made.
The chronic condition prevalence factor, however, does not incorporate the
person weight. It adjusts the sample for distributional variations (age, sex,
race) within the one-sixth subsample of persons who are asked one of six
chronic condition lists. It must be multiplied by the person weight to create
prevalence estimates of chronic conditions. Details are given in the
documentation preceding the condition record tape layout.
Sample Design, Variance, Estimation, and Hypothesis Testing
The data collected in the NHIS are obtained through a complex sample design
involving both clustering and stratification. Because of the complex design
and the ratio adjustments applied to the sample weights (see previous section
on use of sample weights), the direct application of standard statistical
analysis methods for variance estimation and hypothesis testing may yield
misleading results.
There are computer programs available which provide the capability of variance
estimation for complex sample designs. The balanced repeated replication
approach(1) is utilized in &REPERR-&PSALMS-OSIRIS.IV(2) to calculate the
variance-covariance matrix. SESUDAAN(3) SURREGR and SUDAAN(4,5) are programs
that calculate the variance-covariance matrix using the linearization
approach(6,7,8) (Taylor series expansion).
In order to provide the user with the capability of estimating the complex
sample variances in the NHIS data using the above procedures, we have provided
the Basic Weight Before Age-Sex-Race Adjustment (loc. 172-177 - Person Record
only), Substratum Identifier (loc. 178), Full Sample Stratum Identifier (loc.
179-181), and Strata and Pseudo Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) (loc. 187-189)
codes on the data tapes. These variables and the sample weights are necessary
for the calculation of variances.
Even though the overall number of persons in this survey is quite large for
statistical inference purposes, subclass analyses can lead to estimators that
are unreliable. Consequently, analyses of subclasses require that the user
pay particular attention to the coefficient of variation for the estimates of
means, proportions and totals. In addition, small sample sizes, or a small
number of PSU's used in the variance calculations may produce unstable
estimates of the variances using the above computer programs.

CONDITION FILE INCLUSIONS
The Condition file contains the following types of records:
1. Condition records, either acute or chronic, which are associated with
disability days, doctor visits and/or hospitalizations in the two
weeks preceding the interview (location 107=1 or 2 and 111-112=01-14
or 109=1).
2. Chronic condition records when the condition is reported to be the
main or secondary cause of activity limitation (location 107=1 and
126=1 or 2) or limitation in ability to work.
3. Chronic condition records reported in response to a check list of
conditions for each body system, e.g., digestive. The total sample
was divided into six subsamples. Each subsample was asked the set
of conditions corresponding to one of the six chronic disease check
lists.
Use of Condition Records
NHIS condition records can be used to calculate aggregate estimates and rates
of the incidence of acute conditions (Recode A), prevalence of selected
chronic conditions (Recode C), disability days and utilization associated with
acute or chronic conditions, and chronic conditions causing limitation of
activity. Explanations of the procedures used to calculate these figures and
rates are given below as well as restrictions due to content and reliability
factors.
Included below is a list of special codes in ICD format and tape location
created by NHIS as well as a list of ICD codes not used by NHIS.
NHIS Created Codes
The codes listed below are ICD-like codes with meanings specific to NHIS.
These codes and the Impairment X-codes (see Medical Coding Manual for complete
list of X-codes) are found in the ICD column locations of the Person,
Condition, and Doctor Visit Records. The X of the Impairment Codes is in the
first of the four columns.

In addition, the NHIS does not use certain ICD codes, which are conditions
known to be caused by other conditions. In the Ninth Revision of the ICD,
some causal conditions are marked by a dagger and the resulting condition by
an asterisk. NHIS codes the dagger and not the asterisk.
Acute Conditions
Annual incidence estimates can be calculated by the following:
1. Use acute condition records (107:2) and categories from Recode A
(location 100-103).
2. Select those with onset in last two weeks (108:1)
3. Use 6.5 weight (228-236) for all four quarters of data.
Denominators for subdomain rates should be computed by summing the weights for
the entire domain of interest.
When associated disability days such as annual bed days are needed, the
weighted number of bed days in location 246-254 should be substituted for the
6.5 weight in 3 above).
For additional examples of calculating estimates associated with acute
conditions, see the back of this document.
Chronic Conditions
Recode C is the list of selected chronic conditions for which NHIS calculates
prevalence and associated disability and use data. We feel that the
collection and coding procedures used do not justify any further breakdown of
categories for purposes of estimating prevalence from our survey. These
categories correspond to questions asked on the six chronic condition lists
and therefore produce reliable estimates except where the numbers are small.
In order to obtain NHIS prevalence estimates, use the Recode C categories
following the Tape Layouts.
For chronic conditions not specified in the six lists, estimates do not
reflect prevalence but may be useful in epidemiological investigations.
For most of the non-list conditions only those resulting in limitation of
activity, recent disability days, or doctor visits will be included.
Because chronic conditions-related estimates are made based on a one-sixth
subsample, many estimates, especially for population subgroups, may not be
statistically reliable.
The weights for the six subsamples have been adjusted to the Census population
controls using the same age-sex-race cells as were used for the entire sample.
The most accurate chronic condition aggregate estimates for population
variables other than age, sex and race are achieved by multiplying rates
calculated for the one-sixth subsample by the population estimate based on the
total sample.
For example, to estimate the prevalence of hypertension in the population with
income $25,000+, the rate calculated using the entire circulatory system
subsample and those in the sample with hypertensive disease should be
multiplied times the population estimate from the entire NHIS sample in the
$25,000 income category.
In order to calculate annual prevalence estimates:
1. Use chronic condition records (107:1)
2. Select on the appropriate list number in tape Location 92
3. Select on specified codes in Location 104-106 (Recode C).
4. Multiply the chronic condition prevalence factor (Location 190-200).
divided by 1,000,000,000 (to adjust for the implied decimal) times the
basic weight factor in location 219-227.
Rates should be calculated using the population estimates from the subsample
as the denominator. Population estimates from the total sample also may be
used as denominators; however, if rates are to be calculated for groups other
than those defined by age, sex, and race, it may be preferable to use
denominators based on the subsample.
In order to calculate associated disability days, doctor visits, etc., the
specifications above should be used, substituting the appropriate weight for
the basic weight factor in 4. For example, to calculate annual bed day
estimates based on a two-week recall period, use the chronic condition factor
multiplied by the weighted bed days in location 246-254.
Limitation of Activity due to Chronic Condition
To calculate limitation of activity due to chronic conditions on a condition
basis, use the entire NHIS sample, rather than the one-sixth subsamples. NHIS
recommends that Recode B (Location 97-99) be used to categorize the causal
conditions.
Use of Recodes
Recode A - Recode categories for acute conditions. It contains the smallest
categories considered reliable by NHIS for estimating acute conditions.
Recode B - The recommended recode for limitation of activity. It corresponds
directly to Ninth Revision ICD categories.
Recode C - Recode categories for chronic conditions. It is used by NHIS for
estimating prevalence of chronic conditions.

DIAGNOSTIC RECODE A
Acute Conditions
I. Purpose - Recode A consists of 32 4-digit categories of frequently
reported acute conditions. The NHIS routinely publishes acute
condition incidence estimates and other related acute condition data
using these specific recode categories.
II. Format and Content - The first digit of this 4-digit recode separates
the data into five major condition groups, and the second digit into
subcategories of these five. The third and fourth digits are the basic
units of the recode.
III. Definition of Acute Condition - An acute condition is any disease or
injury with onset in the 3-month reference period prior to the week of
interview except for certain conditions always classified as chronic
regardless of onset. Acute conditions must also have either activity
restriction or medical attention. Current deliveries, normal or
complicated, and current complications of pregnancy and puerperium are
always considered acute conditions. The incidence of acute conditions
is limited to acute conditions with onset in the 2-week reference period
prior to the interview week.
This recode is different from Acute Condition Recode 2, used prior to 1982.

DIAGNOSTIC RECODE B
Diseases, Injuries and Impairments
I. Purpose - Recode B is a listing of diseases and injuries developed by
the World Health Assembly (WHA) and modified by the NHIS to include
special impairment codes and residual categories. This recode, without
NHIS modifications, also appears in Volume 1 of the International
Classification of Diseases (1975 Revision).
The recode is intended to provide data users with a classification
scheme whereby the NHIS diagnostic categories are more closely grouped
according to the standard International Classification of Disease
groupings. This recode is primarily used by NHIS to classify conditions
reported as causing activity limitation. For data users interested in
producing chronic condition prevalence estimates, see also Diagnostic
Recode C.
II. Format and Content - Recode B is a 3-digit recode that can be tabulated
in two ways. The first 2 digits represent more general groupings of
condition categories and range from 01-57 and 99. For more detailed
condition categories, the complete 3-digit number - from 010-570 and
990 - is used.
The NHIS has modified this recode in two ways. First, the NHIS
diagnostic coding procedure uses an X-code designation for impairments
instead of an ICD number. For this recode, the X-codes are reassigned
to the recode categories that would have been used under the ICD scheme.
Secondly, residual categories have been added to accommodate all
conditions coded by the NHIS. A code with the letter "A" following
indicates conditions coded by the NHIS only.
This recode is the same as Recode 5 used prior to 1982.

DIAGNOSTIC RECODE C
Chronic Conditions and Impairments
I. Purpose - Recode C consists of 134 3-digit categories of chronic
conditions and impairments. The categories correspond to the conditions
that appear on the six (6) NHIS check-lists of selected chronic
conditions. These categories are used by NHIS to produce prevalence
estimates of selected chronic conditions.
II. Format and Content - The first digit of this 3-digit recode identifies
the specific chronic condition check-list number, i.e., 1-6, that
corresponds to the number of the list used on the NHIS questionnaire.
The second and third digits are numbered sequentially within each of the
6 lists. Each condition group contains between 15 and 43 2-digit
categories.
III. Definition of Chronic Condition and Impairment - In most cases, a
chronic condition or an impairment is any departure from normal health
with onset more than 3 months from date of interview. Certain chronic
conditions and impairments are classified as chronic, however,
regardless of date of onset. Complications of pregnancy are always
classified as acute. All chronic conditions and impairments are counted
whether or not they necessitated activity restriction or medical care.
Impairments coded with an "X" in the first digit are, by definition,
chronic.
This recode is different from Chronic Condition Recode 3, used prior to 1982.

TABULATION SPECIFICATIONS AND WEIGHTING
INTRODUCTION
The tabulation specifications which were used to tabulate data for the
"Current Estimates" report are attached. A brief description of the
key points of each tabulation used to prepare each table is shown on
the attached chart.
The weight for an event occurring or not occurring (binomial 1 or 0)
uses the basic weights for the person. Similarly, if the event has
occurred and when it occurs it can have a frequency of 1, 2, 3, etc.;
the weight shown includes the cross product of the person's basic
weight times the frequency. For instance, if a person is injured and
requires 5 days in bed, the weight shown in the appropriate table is
the person's basic weight times 5.
In most instances in the Health Interview Survey there are three
reference periods used to make estimates: the 2-week reference period,
6 months, and 12 months. In producing estimates two types of weights
are presented in the tape records; the basic weight and the 6.5 weight.
The 6.5 weight is a modification of the basic weight obtained by
multiplying the basic weight by 6.5. The figure 6.5 indicates that
2 weeks multiplied by 6.5 represents 13 weeks or one calendar quarter.
Summing over 4 calendar quarters equals 52 weeks. The basic weight for
a quarter is 4 times the size of the annual weight (divide basic
quarter weight by 4 to get annual weight).
To illustrate the use of reference periods, suppose we have a person
whose basic weight is 6,000 in the tape for the quarter. This person's
annual weight is 6,000/4 = 1,500. His 6.5 weight is obtained by
multiplying 6,000 x 6.5 to obtain the 6.5 weight of 39,000. Therefore,
if this person had 2 doctor visits occurring in the 2-week reference
period, his contribution to the annual volume of doctor visits would
have been 39,000 x 2 or 78,000. If he had been discharged from a
hospital once during the 6 months prior to interview, his contribution
to the annual volume of hospital discharges would be 1,500 x 2 or 3,000
for the full year's sample, or 6,000 x 2 or 12,000 for a sample of one
quarter. If the reference period was 12 months, the weight for the
year's sample is 1,500 (or 6,000 for the quarterly sample).
The weights are presented in character format in the tape in Locations
190-236. Locations from 237 onward contain cross products of variables
with frequency greater than one. For instance, the number of
restricted activity days in the Person Record Locations 98-99 may be
5 days. As a convenience in tabulation, these 5 days have been
multiplied times the appropriate weight (the 6.5 weight in Locations
228-236) to obtain the weighted estimate of restricted activity days
in Locations 237-245.
A table summarizing these tape locations and their uses follows:

SPECIFICATIONS FOR RECREATING THE CURRENT ESTIMATES TABLES
The accompanying instructions show procedures for deriving estimates from
Health Interview Survey data tapes. The publication, "Current Estimates",
for the year 1990 is used as a source for the examples.
Instructions for inclusions and all appropriate weights are included for each
table specified. In cases where classifications such as "other" may not be
clear or where several fields must be specified to produce a single variable,
for example, persons injured, the variables needed will be listed.
