PREFACE
The basic NHIS tape files are created and maintained by Processing
Quarter 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, 178-187, and 337-352 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
characteristics:
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 Location
Household ID 5-14
Person Number
(Blank on Household Record) 15-16
Record Serial Number
(Blank on Household and 17-18
Person Records)
2. File Sequence (Continued)
The household is uniquely identified by the Household ID.
The Person number identifies a person within a household.
Records belonging to a single family within a household can
be identified by using the household 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 a 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 355 bytes
.4 Blocksize = 32305
.5 Tape format = All fields are in character format
.6 Data Set Names:
HOUSEHOLD = HISY1995.HOUSEHLD
PERSON = HISY1995.PERSONSX
CONDITION = HISY1995.CONDITON
HOSPITAL = HISY1995.HOSPITAL
DOCTOR VISIT = HISY1995.DRVISITS
NOTE: Metropolitan Statistical Areas are those defined for the
1990 Decennial Census.

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 1995 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
Traditionally, the sampling frame for the NHIS is redesigned every ten
years to better measure the changing U.S. population and to meet new
survey objectives. The fundamental redesign structure of the 1995-2004
NHIS is similar to that of the 1985-1994 NHIS; however, there are
two major changes to the sampling design. First, a state-level
stratification increases the number of primary sampling locations from
the previous value of 198 to a new value of 358. This enhances the
capability of using the NHIS for state estimation and future dual-
frame surveys at the state level. Secondly, both the black and
Hispanic populations are oversampled to allow for more precise
estimation of health in these growing minority populations. In the
previous design only black Americans were oversampled.
Two other important features first implemented in the 1985-1994 design
continue. NCHS survey linkage and followback surveys are facilitated
by an all-area frame with independent address lists which are not
based on the decennial census. Also, the NHIS sample is divided into
four representative panels to further facilitate linkage to other NCHS
surveys. A description of the survey design, the methods used in
estimation, and general qualifications of the data obtained from this
survey is in preparation.
The data collected in the NHIS are obtained through a complex sample
design involving stratification, clustering, and multistage sampling.
In addition, the weighting factors are subject to adjustments.
Because of this complex design and adjusted sampling weights, the
direct application of standard statistical analysis methods for
estimation and hypothesis testing may yield misleading results. If
data are not weighted, severely biased estimators may result.
Weighted data used in standard software packages may provide unbiased
estimators for the typically computed first-order statistics like
means or regression coefficients, but the computed standard errors may
be too small on the average.
It is recommended that users of NHIS data use computer software that
provides the capability of variance estimation for complex sample
designs. The user is referred to the Internet web site
"http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~stats/survey-soft/survey-soft.html"
entitled Summary of Survey Analysis Software for current software
information. NCHS uses linearization methods, in particular the
SUDAAN software, for NHIS variance estimation. At this time NCHS does
not provide information for use with balanced repeated replication
variance estimation methods. A document providing SUDAAN code to
compute standard errors of means, percentages and totals with the
Public Use NHIS database is in preparation. It will be distributed
with future releases of this documentation, and will be available from
the NCHS web site "http://www.cdc.gov/nchswww/nchshome.htm".
The user should be warned that while analyses of large NHIS domains
usually produce reliable estimators with stable variances, the
analysis of small domains may yield unreliable estimators along with
unstable variance estimators. The analyst should pay particular
attention to the estimated coefficient of variation for the estimators
of means, proportions and totals. In addition, small sample sizes, or
small numbers of primary sampling units containing targeted data may
be an indication of variance estimator instability.

CHANGES IN THE 1995 PUBLIC USE TAPE COMPARED TO 1994
The 1995 Public Use Tape resembles the 1994 version, with the
following exceptions. Most of the modifications occurred because of
changes to the sampling design. (Please see section on Sample Design,
etc. on page 1 of the Introduction). Because of these changes new
fields have been added while fields that represented the old sampling
frame have been dropped. The locations and code differences are
described below:

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 Condition and Doctor Visit Records. The X of the Impairment Codes
(represented by a hyphen '-') 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 annual basic weight 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. Where applicable, locations
from 237 to 335 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 1995 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.
