General Information About NHANES Interview Data
Respondent Rules
In general, persons 16 years of age and older, and emancipated minors were
interviewed directly. A small number of NHANES questionnaire sections have
different respondent rules. Please review the questionnaire documentation,
questionnaires, and interviewer training manuals carefully prior to analyzing the
data.
Proxy Rules
A responsible adult provided information for sample persons under 16 years of
age and for individuals who could not self-report. The interviewer training
manuals and component-specific notes provided with these files provide
additional information about the use of respondents.
Automated Data Collection Methodology
Household Interview and Mobile Examination Center (MEC) Interview data were
recorded electronically with the use of computerized questionnaire forms that
The Household Interview
were programmed using Blaise© software.
questionnaires were programmed in Blaise© and installed on laptop computers
for use in the field. The MEC interviews were also administered in an automated
format, but the interview module formats included non-Blaise© software. After
data collection was completed, the interview data files were transmitted
electronically to a central survey database system.
NHANES Spanish Language Questionnaires
All NHANES questionnaires were translated into Spanish and were administered
in computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) format along with the English
language versions.
Household Interview Component Questionnaires:
Screener Questionnaire
Family Interview Questionnaire
Sample Person Questionnaire
Mobile Examination Center (MEC) Questionnaires:
MEC Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (MEC CAPI)
MEC Audio-Computer-Assisted Self Interview (MEC A-CASI)
The MEC Interview component is a two-part interview that addresses several
health-related topics. The personal interview portion is conducted in a private
setting by a trained interviewer. The Audio Computerized Self Administered (ACASI) portion of the interview was conducted in a private room in the MEC
without the interviewer being present. (The interviewers are present for a brief
“training” session dealing with the use of the personal computer and interview
system software) The A-CASI format permits the respondents to hear questions
through earphones and to read questions on a computer screen. Respondents
progress through the A-CASI questions at their own speed, as they touch the
computer screen to indicate their response. The A-CASI portion of the interview
consists of five separate sections, each of which deals with a sensitive health risk
behavior topic.
Interviewer Training:
All interviewers completed a comprehensive two-week training program. Many of
the interviewers had prior interviewing experience. A large percentage of the
household interviewers were bilingual in English and Spanish.
The MEC interviewers also received extensive interviewer training on personal
and audio-computer-assisted interview administration. This training focused on
the specific interview modules that were administered in the MEC dealing with
mental health and smoking, drug use, alcohol, and sexual behavior.
NHANES interviewer training included role-playing exercises and practice
interviews, all of which were monitored by NCHS and contractor staff. Detailed
information about the interviewer training requirements is found in the NHANES
Household Interviewer Training Manual.
Interviewer Quality Control Monitoring
Extensive pretesting was completed prior to implementing the questionnaires in
the field. A full "dress rehearsal" pilot test was conducted with the field and
examination staff to test all of the survey participant contact and interview
systems and procedures.
Several types of quality control monitoring methods were implemented to ensure
that high quality data were collected during the survey. Interviewer monitoring
was a major responsibility for NCHS and contractor staff. Interviewers were
frequently accompanied on interviews and observed to verify that the interview
protocol was administered correctly. Interviewers were retrained on survey
procedures if necessary.
NCHS encouraged the interviewers to provide constructive comments and
feedback based on their field experiences. NCHS used field staff and interviewer
feedback to improve the questionnaires and survey materials. Survey staff
debriefing and training sessions were conducted annually. NCHS and contractor
staff participated in the debriefing meetings. Interviewers were trained on new
survey content and protocol changes prior to implementation in the field.
Data collection system consistency checks
The NHANES CAPI systems have built-in edit and range checks for most
questions that have open-ended response options. When unusual or unrealistic
responses were recorded, the interviewer was alerted immediately and instructed
to verify or edit the initial response.
Data Preparation: Reviews, editing, and derived variables
During data preparation, variable frequency counts were checked, questionnaire
"skip" patterns were verified, and the reasonableness of responses to the
questions were reviewed. If changes were made to the original data, a derived
variable was created. The derived variable is essentially the final version of the
variable after editing and recoding was performed. The derived variable
nomenclature for questionnaire data includes the letter “D” in the third position of
the variable name in place of the letter “Q” for the questionnaire item that is
customarily used in NHANES data release files. The survey questionnaire
codebooks include the names and descriptions of the derived variables.
Check Items and Final Data Release Variables
The codebooks for each survey component include “check item” variables.
Check item variables were used internally at NCHS as part of the quality control
process to verify that the data collection process was correct. The check item
variables are not part of the data release files, however. Analysts would need to
re-create these variables to produce check item frequencies.
