HPDP Person Sample File, 1990
ABSTRACT
1990 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)
of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP)
Sample Person File
1. The 1990 NHIS of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
(NHIS-HPDP) Sample Person file is very similar to the 1985
NHIS of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Sample
Person file. Many items are identical. Some sections have
minor changes from 1985. Two sections, mammography and
radon, were new in 1990. Occupational health, which was
included in the 1985 HPDP, was not part of the 1990 survey.
2. The NHIS-HPDP Sample person file consists of:
a. The NHIS person record from the Core questionnaire
(locations 1-200)
b. Weight fields (locations 201-212)
c. The special topic data (locations 336-773)
3. Item non-response was handled differently in 1990 than in
1985. In 1990, various types of item non-response were
identified:
(1) Respondent refused to answer the question (codes
7, 97, and 997);
(2) The information was "not ascertained" (codes 8,
98, or 998) (including blanks when there should
have been a response and impossible codes) and;
(3) A response of "don't know" when the question was
asked.
For some items, it was determined that there was no
meaningful difference between "not ascertained" and "don't
know". In these cases, the two categories were both coded 9
(or 99 or 999, as appropriate), and labeled "unknown."
In contrast, in the 1985 HPDP, for most questions, all three
types of item non-response were coded 9 and labeled "DK or
refused." For a few items, "refused" remained a separate
category. The preservation of unambiguous "don't know" and
"refused" categories in 1990 may be helpful, particularly
when analyzing knowledge items or items of a sensitive
nature.
4. The response rate for the NHIS-HPDP was 86.3 percent. This
response rate was calculated as follows:
Household response rate from Core (95.5 percent)
multiplied by the HPDP sample person response rate
(86.7 percent)
= 86.3 percent
5. Initially, dummy records were created for all HPDP non-
respondents. Comparison of sociodemographic characteristics
of respondents and non-respondents indicated that the two
groups were not sufficiently different to warrant retaining
dummy records in the file, especially since dummy records
were not included on the 1985 HPDP file and their inclusion
in the 1990 file would make trend comparisons more
difficult.
6. Weights:
Weights must be used to make accurate estimates based on
data from the National Health Interview Survey. Two weights
are included on the 1990 HPDP Sample Person file:
a. The Final Basic Weight (location 207-212), calculated
for each sample person, is the weight that will be used
in most analyses of the HPDP data. This weight is the
functional equivalent of the Annual Final Basic Weight
found on the NHIS Person Record of the Basic Health and
Demographic component of the survey (i.e., the Core
questionnaire).
The HPDP Final Basic Weight differs in two ways from
that calculated for the Core data file: (1) the HPDP
sample was re-weighted to account for non-response and
selection of only one adult per family and, (2) the
weight field on the Core data file is in binary format
and the weight field on this file is in character
format.
b. The Interim Basic Weight (before age-sex-race
adjustment), required by some software packages for
variance estimation for surveys with complex sample
designs, is also included on the file (loc. 201-206).
7. Estimating numbers of events or conditions
a. To reduce respondent error, the recall period for
questions about some events is limited to two weeks.
These events are: bed days and 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. 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., 1990.
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 1990.
b. 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 1990.
Note: An acute incidence condition is an acute
condition with onset during the two weeks
preceding the date of interview.
c. The recall period for information on hospitalizations
is 12 months. However, in calculating number of
discharges and number of days in hospital (locations
132-141), only discharges occurring in the past 6
months are counted. Therefore, the weighted estimates
for these events must be calculated as follows:
(1) Number of discharges x 2 (number of 6-month
periods in a year) x Final Basic Weight
= Total number of discharges occurring in the
population in one year.
(2) Number of days in hospital associated with
discharges occurring in the past 6 months x 2
(number of 6-month periods in a year) x Final
Basic Weight
= Total number of days of hospitalization
occurring in the population in one year.
8. Calculation of rates for events and conditions:
The number of events or conditions estimated for the
population, as described in item 7, above, can be used as
the basis for calculating rates of occurrence of these
events (or conditions) 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 (i.e., two weeks or 6 months) can be
estimated but is generally not meaningful.+
9. Data on hospital episodes and days, based on a 12-month
recall are 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.

classified as 'Not asked (handicap)' varies in Q.2, depending on the number
of handicapped people who volunteered that they did that type of exercise.
