1995 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)
Family Resources Public Use Imputed Data File
Income and Assets
This tape contains edited and imputed data for the Income and
Assets portions (part D) of the 1995 Family Resources questionnaire
for the NHIS. The other portions of the Family Resources
Questionnaire or Section III from 1995 include Access to Care (part
A), Health Care Coverage (Part B), and Private Plan and Coverage
Detail (Part C). The tasks of cleaning, editing, and imputing
missing data fields were divided between the staff of the Division
of Health Interview Statistics (DHIS) and the Survey Research
Center (SRC) at the University of Michigan (under the direction
of James Lepkowski). The imputation methods designed and
programmed by the staff at SRC are consistent with those developed
for earlier years of the survey (1990-1992) by the Census Bureau
and programmed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation. Complete documentation on the imputation
procedures is available from the staff of DHIS at NCHS by request.
It is entitled: "Imputation for the 1995 National Health Interview
Survey Family Resources Supplement: Documentation" by James M.
Lepkowski. Description of several important aspects of the file
follow. Data that have been modified are identified by flag fields
(please see the flag cross-reference table at the end of this
document). Data users should use great care in reading all
preliminary notes and information embedded within the documentation
specific to the fields of interest.
1. The 1995 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Family
Resources data file on Income and Assets (FR) contains data
from the income and assets supplement which collected
information on employment, income from employment and
businesses, other income sources including retirement and
social security, and asset holdings including cars, houses,
businesses, and investment properties. Additional information
on the receipt of income from public programs including AFDC,
SSI, and Food stamps is also included. Users should be aware
that all income items including the cumulative person and
family fields (locations 581-586 and 587-592 respectively)
refer to the calendar month prior to the interview date. For
those interested in calculating yearly income generated from
employment or businesses, the number of months per year
employed or engaged in a business are available in the
following fields: 418-419 (item no. 2g), 437-438 (item no.
3f), 439-440 (item no. 3g), 470-471 (item no. 4j), 472-473
(item no. 4k).
2. The 1995 FR differs from other NHIS data tapes because it
includes imputed or "allocated" data (using a hot deck method)
when either a record for an interviewed individual or a
specific data item(s) or amount(s) was missing. The
specifications of the data allocation were originally written
by personnel of the U.S. Census Bureau and modified and
programmed by staff of the SRC at the University of Michigan
under cooperative agreement #S278-15/15. The hot deck method
essentially sorts persons into 'like' categories using race,
sex, age, family status and other economic and health
characteristics. The characteristics and categories used
varies by the field being imputed. Fields with complete data
within those like categories are then used to "allocate" data
to like records with missing data on the fields of interest.
Further details on the imputation methodology can be acquired
from the imputation documentation. In addition to imputation,
the income fields are also top-coded in a fashion similar to
the procedures used at the Bureau of the Census to protect the
confidentiality of the respondent. Briefly for low frequency
fields, the top 3% of the records were top-coded and for
higher frequency fields, .5% of the fields were top-coded. In
both cases, the top-coded records were allocated to the
uppermost continuous value.
In years 1990-1992, complete record imputation occurred for
records missing all data or those with less than three items
completed. This was achieved by complete record substitution
from donor records within the appropriate group of like
persons. In 1995, fewer cases needed complete record
imputation. The missing data items were imputed separately
for each item. Records that have been imputed in their
entirety can be identified if all field flags are equal to 1.
Any allocated data can be identified by field-specific flags,
which appear at the end of the record for each individual. A
listing of cross-referencing fields for each flag appears on
the last page of this documentation. Data users should be
aware that some fields are cross-referenced between data
items.
3. 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.
4. One major difference between the questionnaire and the data on
the tape is the deletion of the following items: 5b; 14e,f;
15e,f; 16 e,f. These items were eliminated because they were
follow-up questions for persons who did not give values for
interest and dividend income. The imputation process was
used to impute values for those persons who did not report the
income items, the first time they were asked.
5. One important feature of the imputation process users should
be aware of concerns the income fields, especially for those
using them in families. For income items that are reported for
more than one person per family, the respondent is asked to
give a figure and then when asked about subsequent members of
the family is given the option of saying that the income
figure given previously included the income of the specific
person. See item 6d as an example. The highest reported
income for a family member is divided equally among all those
persons for whom the already included box is checked. The only
exception is social security income for which a different
algorithm is used. Details of the method are available in
additional documentation discussed above.
6. The 1995 FR file is arranged in the following manner:
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. Work experience and current earnings (locations 400-475)
e. Income from other sources (locations 476-553) including
income from public programs including welfare, SSI, SSDI,
and the cash value of food stamps.
f. Asset ownership and valuation (locations 554-570)
g. Total edited income (locations 581-586 and 587-592)
h. Flag fields (locations 593-654)
Note: All data from the Family Resources 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.)
7. 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 Family Resources data.
The Final Basic Weight (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 is used in conjunction with Family Resources data
items in file locations 400-655.
Because the income data was collected only for the calendar
month prior to the date of interview, adjustments by the
analyst must be made to obtain annual data. As noted above,
the user can identify the number of months per year a person
worked or had a business in the last 12 months in order to
obtain this calculation. The total income fields are monthly
composites.
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, special techniques for variance
estimation are needed. Consult a mathematical statistician.
One important aspect of using imputed data in the calculation
of variances is that analysts often use the imputed data as if
it were observed. Thus if the actual number of cases observed
is a and the number of values imputed is b, when imputed cases
are treated as observed, the total number of records will
equal a+b. The true sample size is a, however, and the
variances will be substantially under-estimated because they
will be calculated on a larger sample than is actually
observed. Analysts may consider scaling weights to reflect the
true sample size.
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
Family Resources file is the stratum (loc. 337-340), the PSU
(loc. 341), the substratum (loc. 342-343), the Type of PSU
(loc. 351), and Panel 4 (loc. 352) to permit the analyst the
capability of doing variance estimation procedures. These
variables and weights are necessary for directly calculating
sampling variances. See the attached documentation on variance
estimation for 1995 data.
8. 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.
9. Calculation of rates for events and conditions:
The number of events or conditions estimated for the
population, as described in item 8, 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.)
10. 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.
11. 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 (1998). Data File
Documentation, National Health Interview Survey of Family
Resources, 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.

VARIANCE ESTIMATION FOR PERSON DATA USING THE
January 21,1998
(See Notes at end of this document for application to the Year 2000 Objectives
data file.)
Introduction: The data collected in the NHIS are obtained through a complex
sample design involving stratification, clustering, and multistage sampling,
and the final weights are subject to several adjustments. Any variance
estimation methodology must involve numerous simplifying assumptions about
the design and weighting. We provide some oversimplified conceptual NHIS
design structures that should allow users of this Public Use Data Set to
compute reasonably accurate standard errors.
There are several available software packages for analyzing complex samples.
A comparison is beyond the scope of this document, but an Internet web page
Summary of Survey Analysis Software currently located at
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~stats/survey-soft/survey-soft.html provides
references and discussion. At NCHS the software package SUDAAN has been used
to produce standard errors. In this document SAS and SUDAAN computer code
is provided, but without guarantees of any kind. The computer code and
methods are subject to change without notification to the user. The entire
risk as to the results and performance is assumed by the user. NCHS
recommends that any analysis of NHIS data be done under the supervision of a
statistician who understands the implications of complex-sample design
surveys.
Conceptual NHIS design for 1995 The U.S. Bureau of the Census partitions the
state counties or equivalents along with metropolitan areas into a universe
of about 1900 Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) (note, PSUs may be combined
counties) to provide the primary sampling areas for its many national
surveys. For the NHIS these universe PSUs are partitioned into geographical
strata at the state level. Some of the larger universe PSUs are self-
representing (SR), i.e., they are in the NHIS with certainty. The other PSUs
are called non-self-representing (NSR) or non-certainty PSUs. Within each
state the NSR PSUs are partitioned into strata based upon similarity of PSU
characteristics. Within each NSR stratum 2 PSUs are selected using Durbin's
probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method using the population
as a measure of size. (In some smaller states only 1 PSU is drawn PPS). The
SR PSUs are equivalent to strata, but historically they have been referred to
as PSUs. (PPS and Durbin sampling are discussed in Chapter 9A of Cochran
(1977)).
Within a sampled NSR or SR PSU the geography is partitioned into smaller
geographical clusters which are used to form the universe of secondary
sampling units (SSUs). These SSUs are then partitioned into density strata
based upon black and Hispanic population concentration as determined by the
1990 Decennial Census. An additional strata for new construction since the
last Decennial Census is also created. Within each density stratum SSUs are
sampled at different rates to meet different design objectives. Within each
sample SSU, all households containing black or Hispanic persons are sampled,
while all other households are subsampled. Supplemental NHIS surveys may
require additional sampling at SSU, household, or family levels.
The fundamental sampling weights are created such that under ideal sampling
conditions, unbiased estimators for each level of sampling are available.
In practice, however, the final sampling weights are adjusted for non-
response, and ratio adjusted. Furthermore, in 1995 a government shutdown
resulted in three lost weeks of sample which resulted in further weighting
adjustments. The most important adjustment is a quarterly post-
stratification to 90 age/sex/race/ethnicity Census control totals.
For variance estimation purposes, NCHS treats the NHIS as a two-stage sample.
The PSU probabilities of selection are known, and the SSUs are treated as
sampled with replacement within PSU density strata. Sampling weights are
adjusted by postratification. With these assumptions the SUDAAN software is
used to compute variances. Much of the design information, state, density
strata, and Durbin probabilities can be used to identify the smaller
geographical areas. NCHS forbids the disclosure of information which may
compromise the confidentiality promised to survey respondents, so some design
information is not provided with the Public Use Data. While all design
information is not available to the public, variance estimation methods
exist which provide similar results to the NCHS internally used
methodology. Two methods are described below.
Design Information Available on the NHIS Public Use Databases.
The following variables are used to produce code for variance estimation.
Field locations below are from the PERSON level database, but may change on
other databases; the user should check the file documentation.

WTF 219-227 'FINAL BASIC WEIGHT'
Two methods of variance estimation are provided. -3-
Method 1 - 187 Strata containing 2 PSUs per stratum sampled with replacement
Here, the NHIS universe has been partitioned into 187 strata. Most of the
original NHIS strata and PSUs retain their original sampling structure with
two PSUs being sampled per stratum, but a few strata have been collapsed, and
in the largest self-representing strata, two pseudo-PSUs have been created.
All PSUs are treated as sampled with replacement within their respective
strata. This method will provide somewhat conservative standard errors,
and the standard error estimator itself has less stability than the standard
error estimator described by Method 2 below. Method 1 should be applicable
to many complex survey sample design computer programs which require exactly
2 sampled PSUs per stratum. This method is robust when analyzing subsetted
data (See the section "Subsetted Data Analysis" below).
Coding required (SAS code provided):
STRATUM = STRAT_V ;
PSU = PANEL ;
IF (PSU_V = 5) THEN PSU = INT((PANEL + 1)/2) ;
IF(PSU_V = 8) THEN STRATUM = 553 ;
IF((TYPE_PSU = 1) AND (PSU_V IN (2,4))) THEN STRATUM =
(STRAT_V -1) ;
IF((STRAT_V = 921) AND (PSU_V = 3)) THEN STRATUM = 901 ;
As a check the user should observe 374 PSUs when using the full database.
For the above simplification of the NHIS sample design structure, the
following SUDAAN design statements may be used. (Note, the input file must
first be sorted by STRATUM and PSU variables.)
PROC ... DESIGN = WR;
NEST STRATUM PSU ;
WEIGHT WTF ;
See the Section "Worked SUDAAN Examples" below for further discussion.
Method 2 - Multiple PSUs per Stratum design sampled with replacement
This method provides for more statistically efficient variance estimation
than Method 1, since it makes better use of the sampling design information.
Its application is limited to software that can handle multiple PSUs per
stratum, e.g., SUDAAN. For this method the original certainty PSUs are
partitioned by aggregations of the original race-ethnic density strata used
in sampling. The first randomly sampled unit is actually the SSU variable
which is now treated as the PSU variable. (Note, a certainty PSU unit
contributes nothing to the variance at the PSU sampling level.) Non-
certainty-strata PSUs are treated as being sampled with replacement within
their respective strata. Except for a few special cases, the non-certainty
PSUs have exactly the same structure in both Methods 1 and 2.
-4-
Coding required, (SAS code provided ):
IF TYPE_PSU = 1 THEN DO ; /* certainty strata PSUs */
STRATUM = STRAT_V*1000 + SUB_V ;
PSU = SSU ;
END ;
ELSE DO ; /* non-certainty PSU */ ;
STRATUM = STRAT_V ;
PSU = PSU_V ;
END ;
As a check, the user should observe the following counts:
Certainty Strata PSUs 4079
Non-certainty Strata PSUs 259
Total PSUs 4338
For the Method 2 design structure, the following SUDAAN design statements
may be used. (Note, the input file must first be sorted by STRATUM and PSU
variables.)
PROC ... DESIGN = WR;
NEST STRATUM PSU ;
WEIGHT WTF ;
See the Section "Worked SUDAAN Examples" for further discussion.
CAUTION. Method 2 should only be used on a full sample person data base.
Using this method with subsetted data may lead to incorrectly computed
standard errors. (See the section "Subsetted Data Analysis" below). If
using a subsetted data set, the user should check the degree of agreement of
the certainty and non-certainty counts with the values presented above.
CAUTION
A typically used rule-of-thumb for degrees of freedom to associate with a
standard error is the quantity (number of PSUs - number of strata). This
rule assumes that the PSUs are somewhat comparable in size. For Method 2
this rule may be grossly inaccurate since the concept of PSU is quite
different for certainty and non-certainty strata. Certainty strata PSUs of
Method 2 have small weighted values relative to those of non-certainty PSUs.
The rule-of-thumb degrees of freedom for Method 1 is 187, and Method 2 should
have a "true" degrees of freedom exceeding that of Method 1. However, for
practical purposes, any degrees of freedom exceeding 120 can be treated as
infinite, i.e., one uses a normal Z-statistic instead of a t-statistic for
testing. Note, that a one-tailed critical t0.025 at 120 degrees of freedom
is 1.98 while at an infinite degrees of freedom (i.e., a z-value) is 1.96.
If a variable of interest covers most of the NHIS PSUs, the limiting value
would probably be adequate for analysis. The user should consult a
mathematical statistician for discussion of degrees of freedom.
-5-
SUBSETTED DATA ANALYSES
Frequently, studies of NHIS variables are restricted to select subdomains,
e.g., persons aged 65 and older. To save on storage the user may delete all
records outside of the domain of interest. This procedure of keeping only
select records is called subsetting the data. With a subsetted data set one
can produce correct point estimates, e.g., the subdomain means, but standard
errors may be computed incorrectly when using a compromised design structure.
For example, if a stratum of Method 2 contains 10 PSUs and 5 are lost because
of subsetting, a SUDAAN run on the subsetted data will use an incorrect
formula to compute stratum contributions to the variance. If the full data
are run, SUDAAN correctly handles the 5 empty PSUs. Note, that SUDAAN has a
SUBPOPN option that allows the targeting of a subdomain from a full design
data base. (See the SUDAAN manual for details).
Subsetting methods with SUDAAN
Strategy 1. Use Method 1 above with the MISSUNIT option on the NEST
statement -
NEST STRATUM PSU/ MISSUNIT ;
If a WR design has exactly 2 PSUs per stratum and some PSUs are removed from
the database then the SUDAAN MISSUNIT option performs a fix-up which produces
a standard error identical to that achieved when using a full data set and
SUBPOPN statement. Note, other output like design effects, degrees of
freedom, standardization may be computed differently. The user is
responsible for checking that subsetted input leads to correct results.
Strategy 2. Use Method 1 or 2 above on a "fixed-up" subsetted data set.
Basically, one needs to add some dummy records containing full design
information to the subsetted data set. To do this follow these instructions:
1. Create a 2-variable file containing STRATUM and PSU for each record of the
full person file ( 100,000+ records )
2. Sort this file by STRATUM and PSU within STRATUM.
3. Keep only 1 record for each PSU
add WTF = 10 -10 as a very small weight
add variable DUMMY = 0 to designate dummy record
A file, called DESIGN containing 4 variables with
374 records ( Method 1 used) or with
4338 records (Method 2 used) is created
4. Append DESIGN to the original subsetted database, called DATASET, to form
a new set, called DATANEW.
Define DUMMY = 1 on the DATASET component.
On the DESIGN component records define all variables other than STRATUM,
PSU, WTF, DUMMY as missing "." .
5. Sort DATANEW by STRATUM PSU
6. In SUDAAN use a "SUBPOPN DUMMY = 1;" line to direct SUDAAN to restrict
estimation to the subdomain of interest.
With the above fix-up SUDAAN will correctly handle empty PSUs when computing
the standard errors. SUDAAN output that needs the entire full sample
database for correct computation, e.g., design effects, may or may not be
appropriate. See the SUDAAN manual for computational forms or consult with
a mathematical statistician for correct interpretation.
-6-
Other notes on Subsetting data:
If a subsetted database under Method 2 has only a few missing PSUs, the
subsetted database can probably be run with SUDAAN without being fixed up.
For example, a subsetting by SEX will most likely result in all PSUs still
being in sample, but black males aged 65 and older would result in the loss
of many PSUs. The impact of running SUDAAN on uncorrected subsetted data
varies. Frequently, subsetted runs produce results consistent with those run
on a full data set, but sometimes they do not.
Subsetting by aggregates of Strata does not need a fix-up.
The condition, doctor visit, and hospital record databases are actually
subsetted files. To use with SUDAAN properly, the information should be
linked back to the appropriate person on the person file. Some statistics,
based upon aggregation of records, may be computed directly from this file
along with the fix-up. Consult with a statistician for appropriate SUDAAN
usage.
WORKED SUDAAN EXAMPLES
In the following runs the variables used are
LDR = proportion of persons without a doctor visit in the last 2 years
TDV_R = mean number of annual doctor visits (based upon 2 week recall)
HLT_FP = proportion of persons with self-reported fair or poor health status
(omitting missing)
AGE2: 1 = aged less than 18
2 = aged 18 to 44
3 = aged 45 to 64
4 = aged 65 and older
The following SUDAAN code was executed for both Method 1 and Method 2:

Remark on Examples
A comparison of the three SUDAAN examples shows that Method 2 performs quite
well when compared to the "best" internal NCHS variance design for the NHIS.
Based on limited preliminary evidence, it appears that for means, Method 2
typically provides standard errors in close agreement with, while slightly
larger than, the standard errors produced by the NCHS "best" method. Method 1
tends to provide slightly larger standard errors than Method 2 does, although
the sample output does include examples where the Method 1 standard error is
