1995 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)
Access to Care Public Use Data File
1. The 1995 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Access to
Care data file contains a variety of data items addressing
access to health care services. These data items are
essentially the same as in other recent years with a few
exceptions. The differences are:
a. Question 8 (satisfaction with the health care provider) and
question 10 (provider's ability to meet respondent's needs)
asked in 1994 were dropped from the 1995 questionnaire.
b. Question 11 in 1994 was reworded and moved to question 3b
in 1995.
c. Question 12 in 1994 was reworded, given a 12 month instead
of a 3 month reference period, and moved to question 9 in
1995.
As a result of the Federal government furlough, three weeks of
data collection were omitted in December of 1995. The weights
have been adjusted for the smaller fourth quarter sample to
produce national estimates. However, there may be a minor
seasonal effect which is not corrected by the weighting.
2. The 1995 Access supplement was administered in all of the NHIS
sample households for the full year with the exception of the
last 3 weeks in December as mentioned above. Information was
collected from a household respondent about all family members
who participated in the NHIS.
The 1995 Access file is structured in the following way:
a. The NHIS person record from the core questionnaire
(locations 1-200)
b. The weight fields (locations 201-335)
c. Fields needed for calculating variances (locations 337-352)
d. Data from supplement (locations 400-439)
Note: All data from the Access supplement have been shifted to
start in location 400 in order to accommodate a longer public use
person record required by the new sample design in 1995.
3. In 1995, two types of item non-response were identified:
(1) "Not ascertained" (codes 8, 98, or 998) includes blanks
when there should have been a response or when an impos-
sible code appeared and;
(2) Responses of "don't know" or "refused" when the question
was asked (codes 9, 99 and 999).
There were changes to the skip pattern for questions 3a and 3b
that were known at the time of the January training for field
representatives and dealt with in the training. However,
these changes were not printed in the questionnaire until
July. The skip for these questions was reversed and,
originally, question 3b skipped to question 10 rather than to
question 4. As a result, there is some additional non-response
in questions 3 through 9.
In addition, due to the complexity of the skip patterns
beginning with check item A1, some field representatives
clearly had difficulty following the correct patterns. As a
result, some incorrect data was deleted and there is
significant non-response (coded 8, 98, or 998) in some fields.
4. The overall response rate for the 1995 Access supplement was
85.8 percent. This response rate was calculated as follows:
Household response rate from core of 93.8 percent
multiplied by 91.5 percent who responded to the Access
section yields an overall response rate of 85.8 percent.
Dummy records were created for those with no response to the
entire Access section (see file location 400). There were
8,675 persons in the data file where this occurred (8.5% of
the total NHIS Core sample).
5. Weights and variances:
Since the NHIS uses a multistage sample 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 National Health Interview Survey. A set of
weights are included on the 1995 file:
The first weight listed below (i.e. the Final Basic Weight)
will be used in most analyses of the Access to care data.
The Final Basic Weight - Annual (location 219-227) is the
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). A national estimate
of all person level variables can be made using this weight.
This weight will be used in conjunction with Access to Care
data items in file locations 400-439.
The Final Quarter Basic Weight before age-sex-race/ethnicity
adjustment (loc. 172-177) is required by some software
packages for variance estimation for surveys with complex
sample designs. This weight is also included on the file.
As mentioned above, the sample design for the NHIS was changed
for 1995. Data from 1995 can be combined with data from
previous years, however, variances for 1995 must be calculated
separately from variances of previous years.
There are a number of computer programs that yield variance
estimates for data based on complex sample surveys. Some are
based on replication approaches and others are based on Taylor
linearization approaches. In addition to the Final Quarter
Basic Weight before age-sex-race/ethnicity adjustment(which is
the weight prior to post-stratification), included on the
Access file is the stratum for variance estimation (loc. 337-
340), the PSU for variance estimation (loc. 341), the
substratum for variance estimation (loc. 342-343), and the
type of PSU (loc. 351) to permit the analyst the capability of
using such variance estimation procedures. These variables and
weights are necessary for directly calculating sampling
variances.
6. Estimating annual 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 annual period, i.e. 1995.
Example: Number of bed days (Loc. 100-101) x 26 x Final
Basic Weight (Loc. 219-227) = total number of bed days
reported for the population in 1995.
b. The recall period for acute incidence conditions is also
two weeks and a national estimate of the total number of
acute incidence conditions is calculated using the same
procedures as for two-week events for the annual period.
Number of acute incidence conditions x 26 x Final
Basic Weight
= Total number of acute incidence conditions
occurring in the population during 1995.
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
(Locations 132-133, 137-138), only discharges occurring
in the past 6 months are counted. Therefore, the
weighted estimates must be calculated as follows:
Number of discharges x 2 x Final Basic Weight
= Total number of discharges occurring in the
population in 1995.
7. Calculation of rates for events and conditions:
The number of events or conditions estimated for the
population, as described in item 6, 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.}
8. 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 in this annual
period experiencing a hospital episode in the past year and
the percent of that population having a specified number of
hospital days.
9. Guidelines for Citation of Data
With the goal of mutual benefit, the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS) requests that recipients of data
files cooperate in certain actions related to their use.
Any published material derived from the data should
acknowledge NCHS as the original source. The suggested
citation to appear at the bottom of all tables is as follows:
Source: National Center for Health Statistics (1995)
When cited in a bibliography, the suggested citation should
read:
National Center for Health Statistics (1997). Data File
Documentation, National Health Interview Survey of Access to
Care, 1995 (machine readable data file and documentation),
National Center for Health Statistics, Hyattsville, Maryland.
The published material should also include a disclaimer that
credits any analyses, interpretations, or conclusions reached
to the author (recipient of the data file) and not to NCHS,
which is responsible only for the initial data. Consumers who
wish to publish a technical description of the data should
make a reasonable effort to insure that the description is not
inconsistent with that published by NCHS.
