Information for Survey Participants Welcome track changes in nursing home use among the post acute care population identify changes in nursing home services resulting from reform legislation (i.e, OBRA) enacted in 1987 estimate lifetime nursing home use among older adults. As the population of older adults is projected to double in the next 30 years, need for nursing assistants in long-term care also is projected to grow. In 2004, NCHS will conduct the first national survey of nursing assistants to provide much needed information on this long-term care workforce. About half of the nursing facilities selected to participate in the NNHS will be eligible for the National Nursing Assistant Survey (NNAS). This supplemental survey will include a nationally representative sample of nursing assistants who work in nursing facilities and provide residents with assistance in activities of daily living (ADLs).
