Introduction
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) collects, analyzes, and disseminates data on
the health status of U.S. residents. The results of surveys, analyses, and
studies are made known through a number of data release mechanisms
including publications, mainframe computer data files, CD-ROMs (Search and
Retrieval Software, Statistical Export and Tabulation System (SETS)), and the
Internet (http://www.cdc.gov/nchswww/nchshome.htm).
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a periodic
survey conducted by NCHS. The third National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES III), conducted from 1988 through 1994, was the
seventh in a series of these surveys based on a complex, multi-stage sample
plan. It was designed to provide national estimates of the health and
nutritional status of the United States' civilian, noninstitutionalized
population aged two months and older.
Data from NHANES III are being released in five public release data files:
NHANES III Household Adult Data File (Catalog Number 77560)
NHANES III Household Youth Data File (Catalog Number 77550)
NHANES III Examination Data File (Catalog Number 76200)

GUIDELINES FOR DATA USERS
Please refer to the following important information before analyzing data.
NHANES III Background Documents
o The Plan and Operation of the Third National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey, 1988-94, (NCHS, 1994; U.S. DHHS, 1996) provides an
overview of the survey and includes copies of the survey forms.
o The sample design, nonresponse, and analytic guidelines documents on
the NHANES III Reference Manuals and Reports CD-ROM (U.S. DHHS, 1996)
discuss the reasons that sample weights and the complex survey design
should be taken into account when conducting any analysis.
o Instruction manuals, laboratory procedures, and other NHANES III
reference manuals on the NHANES III Reference Manuals and Reports
CD-ROM(U.S. DHHS, 1996) are also available for further information on
the details of the survey.
Analytic Data Set Preparation
o Most NHANES III survey design and demographic variables are found only
on the Adult and Youth Household Data Files. In preparing a data set
for analysis, other data files must be merged with either or both of
these files to obtain many important analytic variables.
o All of the NHANES III public use data files are linked with the common
survey participant identification number (SEQN). Merging information
from multiple NHANES III data files using this variable ensures that
the appropriate information for each survey participant is linked
correctly.
o NHANES III public use data files do not have the same number of
records on each file. The Household Questionnaire Files (divided into
two files, Adult and Youth) contain more records than the Examination
Data File because not everyone who was interviewed completed the
examination. The Laboratory Data File contains data only for persons
aged one year and older. The Individual Foods Data File based on the
dietary recall has multiple records for each person rather than the one
record per sample person contained in the other data files.
o For each data file, SAS program code with standard variable names and
labels is provided as separate text files on the CD-ROM that contains
the data files. This SAS program code can be used to create a SAS
data set from the data file.
o Modifications were made to items in the questionnaires, laboratory,
and examination components over the course of the survey; as a result,
data may not be available for certain variables for the full six years.
In addition, variables may differ by phase since some changes were
implemented between phases. Users are encouraged to read the Notes
sections of this document carefully for information about changes.
o Extremely high and low values have been verified whenever possible,
and numerous consistency checks have been performed. Nonetheless, users
should examine the range and frequency of values before analyzing
data.
o Some data were not ready for release at the time of this publication
due to continued processing of the data or analysis of laboratory
specimens. A listing of those data are available in the general
information section of each data file.
o Confidential and administrative data are not being released to the
public. Additionally, some variables have been recoded to help
protect the confidentiality of the survey participants. For example,
all age-related variables were recoded to 90+ years for persons who were
90 years of age and older.
o Some variable names may differ from those used in the Phase 1 NHANES
III Provisional Data Release and some variables included in the Phase 1
provisional release may not appear on these files.
o Although the data files have been edited carefully, errors may be
detected. Please notify NCHS staff (301-436-8500) of any errors in
the data file or the documentation.
Analytic Considerations
o NHANES III (1988-94) was designed so that the survey's first three
years, 1988-91, its last three years, 1991-94, and the entire six
years were national probability samples. Analysts are encouraged to use
all six years of survey results.
o Sample weights are available for analyzing NHANES III data. One of
the following three sample weights will be appropriate for nearly all
analyses: interviewed sample final weight (WTPFQX6), examined sample
final weight (WTPFEX6), and mobile examination center (MEC)- and
home-examined sample final weight (WTPFHX6). Choosing which of these
sample weights to use in any analysis depends on the variables being
used. A good rule of thumb is to use "the least common denominator"
approach. In this approach, the user checks the variables of
interest. The variable that was collected on the smallest number of
persons is the "least common denominator," and the sample weight that
applies to that variable is the appropriate one to use for that
analysis. For more detailed information, see the Analytic and Reporting
Guidelines for NHANES III (U.S. DHHS, 1996).

SURVEY DESCRIPTION
The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) was
the seventh in a series of large health examination surveys conducted in
the United States beginning in 1960. Three of these surveys, the National
Health Examination Surveys (NHES), were conducted in the 1960's (NCHS, 1965;
NCHS, 1967; NCHS, 1969). In 1970, an expanded nutrition component was added
to provide data with which to assess nutritional status and dietary
practices, and the name was changed to the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (Miller, 1973; Engel, 1978; McDowell, 1981). A special
survey of Hispanic populations in the United States was conducted during
1982-1984 (NCHS, 1985).
The general structure of the NHANES III sample design was similar to that
of the previous NHANES. All of the surveys used complex, multi-stage,
stratified, clustered samples of civilian, noninstitutionalized
populations. NHANES III was the first NHANES without an upper age limit; in
fact, the age range for the survey was two months and older. A home
examination option was employed for the first time in order to obtain
examination data for very young children and for elderly persons who were
unable to visit the mobile examination center (MEC). The home examination
included only a subset of the components used in the full MEC examination
since it would have been difficult to collect some types of data in a home
setting. A detailed description of design specifications and copies of the
data collection forms can be found in the Plan and Operation of the Third
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994 (NCHS, 1994; U.S.
DHHS, 1996).
NHANES III was conducted from October 1988 through October 1994 in two
phases, each of which comprised a national probability sample. The first
phase was conducted from October 18, 1988, through October 24, 1991, at 44
locations. The second phase was conducted from September 20, 1991, through
October 15, 1994, at 45 different locations. In NHANES III, 39,695 persons
were selected over the six years; of those, 33,994 (86%) were interviewed
in their homes. All interviewed persons were invited to the MEC for a
medical examination. Seventy-eight percent (30,818) of the selected persons
were examined in the MEC, and an additional 493 persons were given a special,
limited examination in their homes.
Data collection began with a household interview. Several questionnaires
were administered in the household: Household Screener Questionnaire,
Family Questionnaire, Household Adult Questionnaire, and Household Youth
Questionnaire.
At the MEC, an examination was performed, and five automated questionnaires
or interviews were administered: MEC Adult Questionnaire, MEC Youth
Questionnaire, MEC Proxy Questionnaire, 24-Hour Dietary Recall, and Dietary
Food Frequency (ages 12-16 years). The health examination component
included a variety of tests and procedures. The examinee's age at the time
of the interview and other factors determined which procedures were
administered. Blood and urine specimens were obtained, and a number of tests
and measurements were performed including body measurements, spirometry,
fundus photography, x-rays, electrocardiography, allergy and glucose
tolerance tests, and ultrasonography. Measurements were taken of bone
density, hearing, and physical, cognitive, and central nervous system
functions. A physician performed a limited standardized medical examination
and a dentist performed a standardized dental examination. While some of the
blood and urine analyses were performed in the MEC laboratory, most analyses
were conducted elsewhere by contract laboratories.
A home examination was conducted for those sample persons aged 2-11 months
and aged 20 years or older who were unable to visit the mobile examination
center. The home examination consisted of an abbreviated version of the
tests and interviews performed in the MEC. Depending on age of the sample
person, the components included body measurements, blood pressure,
spirometry, venipuncture, physical function evaluation, and a questionnaire
to inquire about infant feeding, selected health conditions, cognitive
function, tobacco use, and reproductive history.
SAMPLE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS GUIDELINES
Sample Design
The general structure of the NHANES III sample design is the same as that
of the previous NHANES. Each of these surveys used a stratified, multi-stage
probability design. The major design parameters of the two previous NHANES
and the special Hispanic HANES, as well as NHANES III, have been previously
summarized (Miller, 1973; McDowell, 1981; NCHS, 1985; NCHS, 1994). The
NHANES III sample was designed to be self-weighting within a primary
sampling unit (PSU) for subdomains (age, sex, and race-ethnic groups). While
the sample was fairly close to self-weighting nationally for each of these
subdomain groups, it was not representative of the total population, which
includes institutionalized, non-civilian persons that were outside the
scope of the survey.
The NHANES III sample represented the total civilian, noninstitutionalized
population, two months of age or over, in the 50 states and the District of
Columbia of the United States. The first stage of the design consisted of
selecting a sample of 81 PSU's that were mostly individual counties. In a
few cases, adjacent counties were combined to keep PSU's above a minimum
population size. The PSU's were stratified and selected with probability
proportional to size (PPS). Thirteen large counties (strata) were chosen
with certainty (probability of one). For operational reasons, these 13
certainty PSU's were divided into 21 survey locations. After the 13
certainty strata were designated, the remaining PSU's in the United States
were grouped into 34 strata, and two PSU's were selected per stratum (68
survey locations). The selection was done with PPS and without
replacement. The NHANES III sample therefore consists of 81 PSU's or 89
locations.
The 89 locations were randomly divided into two groups, one for each phase.
The first group consisted of 44 and the other of 45 locations. One set
of PSU's was allocated to the first three-year survey period (1988-91) and
the other set to the second three-year period (1991-94). Therefore,
unbiased estimates (from the point of view of sample selection) of health and
nutrition characteristics can be independently produced for both Phase 1
and Phase 2 as well as for both phases combined.
For most of the sample, the second stage of the design consisted of area
segments composed of city or suburban blocks, combinations of blocks, or
other area segments in places where block statistics were not produced in
the 1980 Census. In the first phase of NHANES III, the area segments were
used only for a sample of persons who lived in housing units built before
1980. For units built in 1980 and later, the second stage consisted of sets
of addresses selected from building permits issued in 1980 or later. These
are referred to as "new construction segments." In the second phase, 1990
Census data and maps were used to define the area segments. Because the
second phase followed within a few years of the 1990 Census, new construction
did not account for a significant part of the sample, and the entire sample
came from the area segments.
The third stage of sample selection consisted of households and certain
types of group quarters, such as dormitories. All households and eligible
group quarters in the sample segments were listed, and a subsample was
designated for screening to identify potential sample persons. The
subsampling rates enabled production of a national, approximately
equal-probability sample of households in most of the United States with
higher rates for the geographic strata with high Mexican-American
populations. Within each geographic stratum, there was a nearly
equal-probability sample of households across all 89 stands.
Persons within the sample of households or group quarters were the fourth
stage of sample selection. All eligible members within a household were
listed, and a subsample of individuals was selected based on sex, age, and
race or ethnicity. The definitions of the sex, age, race or ethnic
classes, subsampling rates, and designation of potential sample persons
within screened households were developed to provide approximately
self-weighting samples for each subdomain within geographic strata and at the
same time to maximize the average number of sample persons per sample
household. Previous NHANES indicated that this increased the overall
participation rate. Although the exact sample sizes were not known until
data collection was completed, estimates were made. Below is a summary of
the sample sizes for the full six-year NHANES III at each stage of selection:
Number of PSU's 81
Number of stands (survey locations) 89
Number of segments 2,144
Number of households screened 93,653
Number of households with sample persons 19,528
Number of designated sample persons 39,695
Number of interviewed sample persons 33,994
Number of MEC-examined sample persons 30,818
Number of home-examined sample persons 493
More detailed information on the sample design and weighting and estimation
procedures for NHANES III can be found in the Plan and Operation of the
Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-94 (NCHS, 1994;
U.S. DHHS, 1996) and in the Analytic and Reporting Guidelines: Third National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), 1988-94 (U.S. DHHS,
1996).
Analysis Guidelines
Because of the complex survey design used in NHANES III, traditional
methods of statistical analysis based on the assumption of a simple random
sample are not applicable. Detailed descriptions of this issue and possible
analytic methods for analyzing NHANES data have been described earlier (NCHS,
1985; Yetley, 1987; Landis, 1982; Delgado, 1990). Recent analytic and
reporting guidelines that should be used for most NHANES III analyses and
publications are contained in Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS,
1996). These recommendations differ slightly from those used by analysts for
previous NHANES surveys. These suggested guidelines provide a framework to
users for producing estimates that conform to the analytic design of the
survey. All users are strongly urged to review these analytic and reporting
guidelines before beginning any analyses of NHANES III data.
It is important to remember that this set of statistical guidelines is not
absolute. When conducting analyses, the analyst needs to use his/her
subject matter knowledge (including methodological issues) as well as
information about the survey design. The more one deviates from the original
analytic categories defined in the sample design, the more important it is to
evaluate the results carefully and to interpret the findings cautiously.
In NHANES III, 89 survey locations were randomly divided into two sets or
phases, the first consisting of 44 and the other of 45 locations. One set
of PSU's was allocated to the first three-year survey period (1988-91) and
the other set to the second three-year period (1991-94). Therefore, unbiased
national estimates of health and nutrition characteristics can be
independently produced for each phase as well as for both phases combined.
Computation of national estimates from both phases combined (i.e., total
NHANES III) is the preferred option; individual phase estimates may be
highly variable. In addition, individual phase estimates are not
statistically independent. It is also difficult to evaluate whether
differences in individual phase estimates are real or due to methodological
differences. That is, differences may be due to changes in sampling methods
or data collection methodology over time. At this time, there is no valid
statistical test for examining differences between Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Therefore, although point estimates can be produced separately for each
phase, no test is available to test whether those estimates are
significantly different from each other.
NHANES III is based on a complex, multi-stage probability sample design.
Several aspects of the NHANES design must be taken into account in data
analysis, including the sample weights and the complex survey design.
Appropriate sample weights are needed to estimate prevalence, means,
medians, and other statistics. Sample weights are used to produce correct
population estimates because each sample person does not have the same
probability of selection. The sample weights incorporate the differential
probabilities of selection and include adjustments for noncoverage and
nonresponse. A detailed discussion of nonresponse adjustments and issues
related to survey coverage have been published (U.S. DHHS, 1996). With the
large over sampling of young children, older persons, black persons, and
Mexican-Americans in NHANES III, it is essential that the sample weights be
used in all analyses. Otherwise, a misinterpretation of results is highly
likely. Other aspects of the design that must be taken into account in data
analyses are the strata and PSU pairings from the sample design. These
pairings should be used to estimate variances and test for statistical
significance. For weighted analyses, analysts can use special computer
software packages that use an appropriate method for estimating variances for
complex samples such as SUDAAN (Shah, 1995) and WesVarPC (Westat, 1996).
Although initial exploratory analyses may be performed on unweighted data
using standard statistical packages and assuming simple random sampling,
final analyses should be done on weighted data using appropriate sample
weights. A summary of the weighting methodology and the type of sample
weights developed for NHANES III is included in Weighting and Estimation
Methodology (U.S. DHHS, 1996).
The purpose of weighting the sample data is to permit analysts to produce
estimates of statistics that would have been obtained if the entire
sampling frame (the United States) had been surveyed. Sample weights can be
considered as measures of the number of persons the particular sample
observation represents. Weighting takes into account several features of
the survey: the specific probabilities of selection for the individual
domains that were over sampled as well as nonresponse and differences between
the sample and the total U.S. population. Differences between the sample and
the population may arise due to sampling variability, differential
under coverage in the survey among demographic groups, and possibly other
types of response errors, such as differential response rates or
misclassification errors. Sample weighting in NHANES III was used to:
1. Compensate for differential probabilities of selection among subgroups
(i.e., age-sex-race-ethnicity subdomains where persons living in
different geographic strata were sampled at different rates);
2. Reduce biases arising from the fact that nonrespondents may be
different from those who participate;
3. Bring sample data up to the dimensions of the target population
totals;
4. Compensate, to the extent possible, for inadequacies in the sampling
frame (resulting from omissions of some housing units in the listing
of area segments, omissions of persons with no fixed address, etc.); and
5. To reduce variances in the estimation procedure by using auxiliary
information that is known with a high degree of accuracy.
In NHANES III, the sample weighting was carried out in three stages. The
first stage involved the computation of weights to compensate for unequal
probabilities of selection (objective 1, above). The second stage adjusted
for nonresponse (objective 2). The third stage used poststratification of
the sample weights to Census Bureau estimates of the U.S. population to
accomplish the third, fourth, and fifth objectives simultaneously. In
NHANES III, several types of sample weights (see the sample weights table
that follows) were computed for the interviewed and examined sample and are
included in the NHANES III data file. Also, sample weights were computed
separately for Phase 1 (1988-91), Phase 2 (1991-94), and total NHANES III
(1988-94) to facilitate analysis of items collected only in Phase 1, only
in Phase 2, and over six years of the survey. Three sets of pseudo strata
and PSU pairings are provided to use with SUDAAN in variance estimation.
Since NHANES III is based on a complex, multi-stage sample design,
appropriate sample weights should be used in analyses to produce national
estimates of prevalence and associated variances while accounting for
unequal probability of selection of sample persons. For example, the final
interview weight, WTPFQX6, should be used for analysis of the items or
questions from the family or household questionnaires, and the final MEC
examination weight, WTPFEX6, should be used for analysis of the
questionnaires and measurements administered in the MEC. Furthermore, for a
combined analysis of measurements from the MEC examinations and associated
medical history questions from the household interview, the final MEC
examination weight, WTPFEX6, should be used. We recommend using SUDAAN
(Shah, 1995) to estimate statistics of interest and the associated variance.
However, one can also use other published methods for variance estimation.
Application of SUDAAN and alternative methods, such as the average design
effect approach, balance repeated replication (BRR) methods, or jackknife
methods for variance estimation, are discussed in Weighting and Estimation
Methodology (U.S. DHHS, 1996).

Use only in conjunction with the MEC- and home-examined persons
assigned to the afternoon/evening subsample and with items
collected during the MEC and home examinations.
DATA PREPARATION AND PROCESSING PROCEDURES
Automated data collection procedures for the survey were introduced in
NHANES III. In the mobile examination centers, data for the interview and
examination components were recorded directly onto a computerized data
collection form. With the exception of a few independently automated
systems, the system was centrally integrated. This operation allowed for
ongoing monitoring of much of the data. Before the introduction of the
computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI), the household questionnaire
data were reviewed manually by field editors and interviewers. CAPI
(1992-1994 only) questionnaires featured built-in edits to prevent entering
inconsistencies and out-of-range responses. The multi-level data
collection and quality control systems are discussed in detail in the Plan
and Operation of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey,
1988-1994 (NCHS, 1994; U.S. DHHS, 1996). All interview, laboratory, and
examination data were sent to NCHS for final processing.
Guidelines were developed that provided standards for naming variables,
filling missing values and coding conventional responses, handling missing
records, and standardizing two-part quantity/unit questionnaire variables.
NCHS staff, assisted by contract staff, developed data editing
specifications that checked data sets for valid codes, ranges, and skip
pattern consistencies and examined the consistency of values between
interrelated variables. Comments, collected in both interviews and
examination components, were reviewed and recoded when possible. Responses
to "Other" and "Specify" were recoded either to existing code categories or
to new categories. The documentation for each data set includes notes for
those variables that have been recoded and standardized and for those
variables that differ significantly from what appears in the original data
collection instrument. While the data have undergone many quality control
and editing procedures, there still may be values that appear extreme or
illogical. Values that varied considerably from what was expected were
examined by analysts who checked for comments or other responses that might
help to clarify unusual values. Generally, values were retained unless they
could not possibly be true, in which case they were changed to "Blank but
applicable." Therefore, the user must review each data set for extreme or
inconsistent values and determine the status of each value for analysis.
Several editing conventions were used in the creation of final analytic
data sets:
1. Standardized variables were created to replace all two-part
quantity/unit questions using standard conversion factors.
Standardized variables have the same name as the variable of the
two-part question with an "S" suffix. For instance, MAPF18S (Months
received WIC benefits) in the MEC Adult Questionnaire was created from
the two-part response option to question F18, "How long did you receive
benefits from the WIC program?," using the conversion factor 12 months
per year.
2. Recoded variables were created by combining responses from two or more
like variables, or by collapsing responses to create a summary
variable for the purpose of confidentiality. Recoded variables have the
original variable name with an R suffix. For example, place of birth
variable (HFA6X) in the Family Questionnaire was collapsed to a three
level response category (U.S., Mexico, Other) and renamed HFA6XCR.
Generally, only the recoded variable has been included in the data file.
3. Fill values, a series of one or more digits, were used to represent
certain specific conditions or responses. Below is a list of the fill
values that were employed. Some of the fill values pertain only to
questionnaire data, although 8-fill and blank-fill values are found in
all data sets. Other fill values, not included in this list, are used
to represent component-specific conditions.
6-fills = Varies/varied. (Questionnaires only)
7-fills = Fewer than the smallest number that could be reported within
the question structure (e.g., fewer than one cigarette per day).
(Questionnaires only)
8-fills = Blank but applicable/cannot be determined. This means that
a respondent was eligible to receive the question, test, or component
but did not because of refusal, lack of time, lack of staff, loss of
data, broken vial, language barrier, unreliability, or other similar
reasons.
9-fills = Don't know. This fill was used only when a respondent did
not know the response to a question and said, "I don't know."
(Questionnaires only)
Blank fills = Inapplicable. If a respondent was not eligible for a
questionnaire, test, or component because of age, gender, or specific
reason, the variable was blank-filled. In the questionnaire, if a
respondent was not asked a question because of a skip-pattern,
variables corresponding to the question were blank-filled. For
examination or laboratory components, if a person was excluded by a
defined protocol (e.g., screening exclusion questions) and these
criteria are included in the data set, then the corresponding
variables were blank-filled for that person. For home examinees,
variables for examination components and blood tests not performed as
part of the home examination protocol were blank-filled.
4. For variables describing discrete data, codes of zero (0) were used to
mean "none," "never," or the equivalent. Value labels for which "0"
is used include: "has not had," "never regularly," "still taking," or
"never stopped using." Unless otherwise labeled, for variables
containing continuous data, "zero" means "zero.
5. Where there are logical skip patterns in the flow of the questionnaire
or examination component, the skip was indicated by placing the
variable label of the skip destination in parentheses as part of the
value label of the response generating the skip. For example, in the
Physical Function Evaluation, the variable PFPWC (in wheelchair) has a
value label, "2 No (PFPSCOOT)" that means that the next item for
persons not in a wheelchair would be represented by the variable,
PFPSCOOT.
Variable Nomenclature
A unique name was assigned to every NHANES III variable using a standard
convention. By following this naming convention, the origin of each
variable is clear, and there is no chance of overlaying similar variables
across multiple components. Variables range in length from three to eight
characters. The first two variable characters represent the topic (e.g.,
analyte, questionnaire instrument, examination component) and are listed
below alphabetically by topic. For questionnaires administered in the
household, the remainder of the variable name following the first two
characters indicates the question section and number. For example, data
for the response to the Household Adult Questionnaire question B1 are
contained in the variable HAB1. For most laboratory and examination
variables, as well as some other variables, a "P" in the third position
refers to "primary" and the remainder of the variable name is a brief
description of the item. For instance, in the Laboratory Data File,
information on the length of time the person fasted before the first blood
draw is contained in the variable PHPFAST. The variable PHPFAST was derived
as follows: characters 1-2 (PH) refer to "phlebotomy," character 3 (P)
refers to "primary," characters 4-8 (FAST) refer to an abbreviation for
"fasting."

GENERAL INFORMATION
The NHANES III Household Adult Questionnaire Data File contains all data
collected during the household interviews for adults 17 years and older.
Demographic data, survey design variables, and sampling weights for this age
group are also included. This first section provides a brief background
and information about the contents of the Household Adult Questionnaire
Data File. The second section is the Data File Index; a listing of all
of the variables with the standard names and their positions in the data
set. The third section contains the frequency counts and codes for all
of the variables, followed by notes and appendices. References are found in the
fourth section.
The data that comprise this file were obtained from three separate interviews
administered in the household: the Screener, the Family, and Household Adult
questionnaires. The Screener was a brief interview administered to all
households within selected sampling units to determine eligibility for
participation in the survey. Information obtained from the Screener
questionnaire was the basis for the demographic variables, and survey-related
variables. The purpose of the Family questionnaire was to obtain data on
educational levels, occupation, health insurance coverage, income, and food
security of family members, and to record characteristics of the house
itself.
The Household Adult questionnaire was administered to the respondent, or
in some instances to a proxy respondent. Questions on topics such
conditions, health services usage, dental care, tobacco use and vitamin,
mineral and medicine use were asked according to age subgroups. At the end of
the interview, the respondents's blood pressure was measured three times. A
second set of blood pressure measurements was obtained during the 4-hour
physical examination at the mobile examination center (See NHANES III
Examination Data File). The interview was completed by 20050 adults aged 17
years and older during the six years of NHANES III.
Interviews were conducted by field staff, in both English and Spanish. All
staff received intensive initial training, and formal retraining was
conducted throughout the survey to ensure that high skill levels were
maintained. The data collection system was automated in Phase 2, at which
time interviews were conducted using CAPI (computer-assisted personal
interview). Details on survey instruments and forms, training manuals and
data collection procedures are published elsewhere (U.S. DHHS, 1996).
Data processing and editing were performed for consistency of responses
within sections of the questionnaire sections. Identifiable information
including names, addresses, and social security numbers, as well as other
administrative items were excluded from the data file in order to ensure
confidentiality.
Notes are provided both for standardized and recoded variables, and for
variables requiring additional explanation. Hand cards and other diagrams
that were used during interviews are located with copies of the survey
instruments in the Plan and Operation of the Third National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey (U.S. DHHS, 1996). Users should note that
because questions were modified, reordered, added, or deleted, this
documentation may not follow the exact ordering of the questions on survey
instruments.
Since NHANES III was based on a complex multistage design, appropriate sample
weights should be used in analyses to produce national estimates and
associated variances. The final interview weights WTPFQX6 should be used for
analysis of interview data alone. Some sections of the Household Adult
questionnaire were identical to sections of the Household Youth questionnaire
(e.g., vitamin, mineral and medicine use) enabling the data to be analyzed
together. If interview data are combined with examination, laboratory or
dietary data, the total MEC weights (WTPFEX6) or MEC+home weights (WTPFHX6)
should be used.
