Access To Care File, 1993
DSN: CC37.NHIS93.ACCESSX
ABSTRACT
General Information
1. The 1993 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Access data
file contains a variety of data items addressing access to
health care services.
2. The 1993 Access topic was administered only in the last half
of 1993 (Quarters 3 and 4) for everyone in the NHIS. Some
questions either in the Access topic or in the core person
data refer to a 2 week time period and some conditions,
health status and health care utilization items are known to
have seasonal variations in reporting. The data on this
file might not yield annual estimates similar to that
obtained if the Access topic was fielded for the entire
survey year, especially for those variables known to be
subject to seasonal variation/reporting.
The 1993 Access file is structured in the following way:
a. The NHIS person record from the core questionnaire
(locations 1-335) (removing annual weight fields)
b. The special topic data (locations 336-389)
3. In 1993, 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
impossible code appeared and;
(2) Responses of "don't know" or "refused" when the
question was asked (codes 9, 99 and 999).
4. The overall response rate for the 1993 Access was 88.6
percent. This response rate was calculated as follows:
Household response rate from core for the 3rd and 4th
quarters (94.7 percent) multiplied by 93.6 percent who
responded to the Access section yielding an overall
response rate of 88.6 percent.
Dummy records were created for those with no response to the
entire section.
Weights and Variances
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 1993 file:
The first weight listed below (i.e. the Final Access Basic
Weight) will be used in most analyses of the Access data.
The Final Basic Weight (location 210-218) is the equivalent
of the semi-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). Because the
Access supplement was only conducted during the third and
fourth quarters of 1993, a national estimate of all person
level variables can be made using this weight.
This weight will be used in conjunction with Access data
items in file locations 336-389.
Interim Basic Weights (before age-sex-race adjustment) are
required by some software packages for variance estimation
for surveys with complex sample designs. This weight is
also included on the file.
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 Interim
Basic Weight (which is the weight prior to poststratifi-
cation), included on the Access file is the Full Sample
Stratum Identifier (loc. 179-181), the Pseudo Primary
Sampling Unit (PSU) Codes (loc. 187-189), and the Type of
PSU (loc. 185) to permit the analyst the capability of using
such variance estimation procedures. These variables and
weights are necessary for directly calculating sampling
variances.
Estimating semi-annual numbers of events or conditions
6. Estimating semi-annual numbers of events or conditions
Note: The data on this file might not yield annual
estimates similar to that obtained if the Access topic was
fielded for the entire survey year, especially for those
variables known to be subject to seasonal
variation/reporting.
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 13 (number of two-week
periods in a year) x Final Basic Weight
= Total number of events occurring in the
population during the semi-annual period,
i.e. 1993.
Example: Number of bed days (loc. 100-101) x 13 x
Final Basic Weight (loc. 210-218) = total number of bed
days reported for the population in 1993.
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 semi-annual period.
Number of acute incidence conditions x 13 x Final
Basic Weight
= Total number of acute incidence conditions
occurring in the population during the last
half of 1993.
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 Final Basic Weight
= Total number of discharges occurring in the
population in the last half of 1993.
Calculation of rates for events and conditions
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 semi annual period experiencing a hospital episode
in the past year and the percent of that population having a
specified number of hospital days.
Guidelines for Citation of Data
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 (1993)
When cited in a bibliography, the suggested citation should
read:
National Center for Health Statistics (1994). Data File
Documentation, National Health Interview Survey of Access to
care, 1993 (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.
