Statistical Datasets in category R1: Public Health
Cardiovascular
disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and
serious illness in the United States. In 1948, the Framingham Heart Study -- under the direction of
the National Heart Institute (now known as the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute; NHLBI) -- embarked on an ambitious project in health research. At
the time, little was known about the general causes of heart disease and
stroke, but the death rates for CVD had been increasing steadily since the beginning of the
century and had become an American epidemic. The objective of the Framingham Heart
Study was to identify the common factors or characteristics that contribute to CVD by following its development over a
long period of time in a large group of participants who had not yet developed
overt symptoms of CVD or suffered a heart attack or stroke. The researchers recruited
5,209 men and women between the ages of 30 and 62 from the town of
Framingham, Massachusetts and began the first round of extensive
physical examinations and lifestyle interviews that they would later analyze
for common patterns related to CVD development. Since 1948, the subjects have continued to
return to the study every two years for a detailed medical history, physical
examination, and laboratory tests. In 1971, the study enrolled a
second-generation group -- 5,124 of the original participants' adult children
and their spouses -- to participate in similar examinations. A Third Generation
(the children of the Offspring Cohort) is currently being recruited and
examined, seeking to further understand how genetic factors relate to
cardiovascular disease. These participants are being given an extensive
cardiovascular examination similar to their parents and grandparents. The goal
is to recruit and examine 3,500 grandchildren of the original cohort.

This
study resurveyed colleges that participated in the Harvard School of Public
Health College Alcohol Study, 1993 (ICPSR 6577). As in the 1993 survey, this
survey focused on alcohol use and alcohol problems among undergraduate college
students. The survey collected information on students' use of alcohol,
tobacco, and illicit drugs, views on campus alcohol policies and student
alcohol use, reasons for drinking alcohol and reasons for not drinking or
limiting drinking, and personal difficulties caused by drinking problems (e.g.,
missed classes, injury, and trouble with police). Additional topics covered by
the survey include overall health status, daily activities, satisfaction with
education being received, grade-point average, living arrangements, social
life, sexual activity, use of condoms during sexual intercourse, date rape,
drunk driving, and attendance in meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, Alanon, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and Narcotics
Anonymous. Background variables include age, sex, marital status, religion,
mother's and father's drinking habits, race, and Hispanic origin.

The
National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) series (formerly titled National
Household Survey on Drug Abuse) measures the prevalence and correlates of drug
use in the United States. The surveys are designed to provide quarterly, as
well as annual, estimates. Information is provided on the use of illicit drugs,
alcohol, and tobacco among members of United States households aged 12 and
older. Questions include age at first use as well as lifetime, annual, and
past-month usage for the following drug classes: marijuana, cocaine (and
crack), hallucinogens, heroin, inhalants, alcohol, tobacco, and nonmedical use of prescription drugs, including pain
relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. The survey covers
substance abuse treatment history and perceived need for treatment, and
includes questions from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental
Disorders that allow diagnostic criteria to be applied. The survey includes
questions concerning treatment for both substance abuse and mental health
related disorders. Respondents are also asked about personal and family income
sources and amounts, health care access and coverage, illegal activities and
arrest record, problems resulting from the use of drugs, and needle-sharing.
Demographic data include gender, race, age, ethnicity, marital status,
educational level, job status, veteran status, and current household
composition.

The National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), Division of Health Examination Statistics (DHES), part of
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has conducted a series of
health and nutrition surveys since the early 1960's. The National Health and
Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) were conducted on a periodic basis from
1971 to 1994. The most recent NHANES began in 1999. Every year, approximately
7,000 individuals, of all ages, are interviewed in their homes; of these,
approximately 5,000 complete the health examination component of the survey. A
majority of the health examinations are conducted in mobile examination centers
(MECs); the MECs provide an
ideal setting for the collection of high quality data in a standardized
environment. In addition to the MEC examinations, a small number of survey
participants receive an abbreviated health examination in their homes if they
are unable to come to the MEC.
The sample person demographic file is
composed of a limited set of core variables that are required to analyze NHANES
1999-2000 data. Many variables that are listed in the Demographic questionnaire
sections of the Household Interview were omitted from this data release due to
concerns about participant confidentiality.

- BRFSS 2002: Behavioral
Risk Factor Surveillance System 2002
The BRFSS, which is administered and
supported by the Behavioral Surveillance Branch of the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), is an ongoing data collection program designed to
measure behavioral risk factors in the adult population 18 years of age or
older living in households. The objective of this survey is to collect uniform,
state specific data on preventive health practices and risk behaviors that are
linked to chronic diseases, injuries, and preventable infectious diseases in
the adult population. Factors assessed by the BRFSS include tobacco use, health
care coverage, HIV/AIDS knowledge or prevention, physical activity, and fruit
and vegetable consumption. The survey consists of three parts: 1) the core
component, which includes queries about current health-related perceptions,
conditions, and behaviors (e.g., health status, health insurance, diabetes,
tobacco use, selected cancer screening procedures, and HIV/AIDS risks) and
questions on demographic characteristics; 2) optional modules, which are sets
of questions on specific topics (e.g., cardiovascular disease, oral health)
that states elect to use on their questionnaires; 3) state-added questions,
which consist of questions developed or acquired by participating states and
added to their questionnaires. Data are collected from a random sample of
adults (one per household) through a telephone survey.
The data file contains 247,964 observations on 70
variables and is available in the following formats:

The California Survey of
AIDS Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior: 1987, consists of 2,012 telephone
interviews with a household probability sample of California adults age 18 and
over. Two overlapping, random digit-dial sampling frames were employed: one
generated to be representative of all households with telephones in each
geographic area (n=1,618) and one generated from areas with higher minority
population densities (n=394). Interviews were conducted from October 4, 1987
through December 20, 1987 (completion rate=71%). Interviews were conducted in
two stages. An initial 15-minute interview determined whether a respondent was
a member of one or more of three AIDS high-risk groups: gay-identifying men,
multiple/high-risk partner heterosexuals, or recreational drug users (not
limited to intravenous drug use). If a respondent qualified as high-risk, an
additional battery of questions, lasting about 20 minutes, was administered.
Seven different follow-up batteries were used, one for each likely combination
of risk factors: homosexual/bisexual respondents; multiple/high-risk partner
heterosexuals; recreational drug users; homosexual/bisexual men who were also
recreational drug users; multiple/high-risk partner heterosexuals who were also
recreational drug users; homosexual/bisexual men who were also
multiple/high-risk partner heterosexuals; and high-risk individuals falling
into all three high-risk groups. A number of substantive areas were surveyed:
demographic characteristics of the three defined risk groups; prevalence of
AIDS risk behaviors; perceived impact of the epidemic upon respondents; AIDS
knowledge; sources of information about AIDS; medical care and insurance
coverage; blood donation and transfusion; and information regarding
respondents' sexual relationships, AIDS-related communication and condom usage.
A total of 352 variables were assessed in this data set. The 1988 follow-up
study to the California Survey of AIDS Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior: 1987
has been archived as Sociometrics AIDS/STD Data
Archive Data Set 02.
These data were acquired

The California Survey of
AIDS Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior: 1988, consists of 4,661 telephone
interviews with a household probability sample of California adults aged 18 and
over. The survey is the second in a series of annual population-based
assessments of AIDS awareness and behavioral change. Data collected in this
survey permit comparisons to the California Survey of AIDS Knowledge, Attitudes
and Behavior: 1987, which has been archived as Sociometrics
AIDS/STD Data
Archive Data Set 01. However, methodological differences between the 1987 and
1988 surveys may result in different findings between the two surveys.
Interviews were conducted from September 30, 1988 through December 13, 1988.
The major goals of the 1988 survey included: (1) increasing the number of cases
from high-risk groups on whom reliable data are
available for analysis; and (2) assessing change in attitudes and behavior
between 1987 and 1988. In order to maximize the number of high-risk
respondents, a stratified, random digit-dial sampling frame was employed to oversample within geographic locations with a greater percentage
of risk group individuals. Three strata were formed. The
first consisted of high-risk" zip codes, the second of intermediate-risk
zip codes and zip codes with high racial/minority population densities, and the
third of low-risk zip codes (the balance of the state). As part of the
initial interview, it was determined whether the respondent fell into one or
more of three AIDS high-risk groups: gay-identifying men, multiple/high-risk
partner heterosexuals, or recreational drug users. If a respondent qualified as
high-risk, an additional battery of questions addressing their particular risk
behavior was administered. Information was gathered on 311 variables. Using
1988 State of California, Department of Finance statewide population
projections, sample data were weighted appropriately by county, stratum,
household size, and number of telephone lines per household.
These data were acquired
from the AIDS/STD Data
and Instrument Archive (AIDS) of Sociometrics

The Prospero Project
Condom Study, San Francisco, 1989-1991, which was conducted between December
1989 and April 1991, explored condom use in 552 male sex workers in San
Francisco _ men who are at high risk to contract and spread the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Investigators employed face-to-face interviews to
gather detailed information about the conditions (e.g., type of partner, type
of sexual activity) under which condoms were and were not used. In addition,
the investigators sought to quantify the amount of condom failure (i.e.,
breakage and/or slippage) in this population. This data set includes
information on 736 variables across 552 cases. Respondents were identified
through a combination of methods and represented two general types of male sex
workers: ``Street hustlers'' (n=226), men who solicit clients face-to-face in
public places such as certain streets, bars, or erotic bookstores, and ``Call
men'' (n = 326), men who solicit clients over the telephone and operate from a
list of clients and/or advertise services in newspapers and magazines. Within
these two general types of male sex workers, investigators further specified
six sub- types. Two former sex workers were hired by the investigators to
interview respondents. Interviews gathered: (1) self-reports about the number
of sexual partners and condom use during specific sexual activities during the
previous week; (2) estimates of the frequency of condom use in general (i.e.,
for the last month and for the last year); (3) estimates of the frequency of
condom failure (i.e., breakage and/or slippage) over the last week, the last
month, and the last year; and (4) the conditions under which condom failure
occurred. In addition, demographic data (age, religious affiliation, ethnicity,
level of education); self-reported sexual identification (e.g., gay, bisexual,
transvestite, transsexual); and HIV status were obtained for respondents.
These data were acquired
from the AIDS/STD Data
and Instrument Archive (AIDS) of Sociometrics
Corporation. The collection was established with funding from the National

The study, Demographic,
Behavioral, and Health Characteristics of Injection Drug Users in San
Francisco, 1985-86, was conducted in late 1985 and early 1986 as part of a
larger investigation of health characteristics and risk factors for HIV
transmission in intravenous drug users. Many of the 1985/86 study respondents
along with new respondents have been interviewed at several time points since
1986 although AIDS/STD Data
Set 11 contains only the baseline data from 1985/86. The purpose of the study
was to obtain data on demographic characteristics, sexual and other risk
behavior, and general health characteristics from a group of intravenous drug
users (IVDUs) in San Francisco. This data set
contains information on 298 variables across 438 IVDU respondents.

by a research team centered at the University of Chicago, the NHSLS was
designed not only to determine the prevalence of various sexual practices, but
also to examine the social and psychological contexts in which those practices
occur. The NHSLS data set contains information on 1,604 variables gathered from
interviews with a national probability sample of 3,432 American men and women
between the ages of 18 and 59. The study explores the extent to which sexual
conduct and general attitudes toward sexuality are influenced by gender, age,
marital status, and other demographic characteristics. Among the numerous
topics covered by the NHSLS are early sexual experiences, masturbation,
contraception and fertility, sexual abuse, coercion, sexual health,
satisfaction, sexual dysfunction and homosexuality.

The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES
III) is the seventh in a series of
national examination studies conducted in the United States beginning in 1960.
Three of these studies, the National Health Examination Surveys (NHES) were
conducted in the 1960's. Beginning in 1970 a large nutrition component was
added to the basic design, and the name was changed to the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). A special study of Hispanic populations
in the United States was conducted in 1982-84, Hispanic Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey, (HHANES). These studies have contributed to our knowledge
of public health in the United States and have contributed to the formulation
and conduct of public health policy.
The sample for the NHANES III was selected from households in 81
counties across the United States. The survey period is 1988-1994, consisting
of two phases of equal length and sample size. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2
comprise random samples of the U.S. population living in households. About
40,000 persons 2 months of age and over were selected and asked to complete an
extensive interview and an examination in a large mobile examination center.

This longitudinal study assessed the effects of prenatal methadone
exposure on a cohort of children who were followed from birth to two years of
age. The purpose of the study was to examine teratogenic
effects of methadone as well as to determine how other non-teratogenic
risk factors might be related to the behavior of drug-exposed children. Thirty
six pregnant opioid-using women between the ages of
18 and 35 were recruited at prenatal clinics at Chicago Lying-In Hospital
between 1978 and 1982. All of the women were involved in low-dose
methadone-maintenance programs for the treatment of chronic heroin addiction,
and the majority occasionally used other drugs, most commonly alcohol,
marijuana, heroin, cocaine, Valium, or Talwin. All of
the women were black, came from low-income inner-city neighborhoods, and
received good quality prenatal care. Infants' behavior was assessed at one day
and at four weeks of age using the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale with
Kansas Supplements (NBAS-K). The children were assessed again at 4, 8, 12, 18
and 24 months of age using the Bayley Scales of
Infant Development. Children's heights, weights, and head circumferences were
measured at each of the assessments. The study assessed a total of 436
variables across 79 cases.

The 1991 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is the
eleventh in a series of cross-sectional studies which began in 1971 designed to
measure the prevalence and correlates of drug use in the United States
household population aged 12 and over. The 1991 NHSDA was sponsored by the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Admin- istration
(SAMHSA) and directed by researchers from the Research Triangle Institute in
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Interviewers administered question-naires in- person to a household probability sample of
32,594 respondents within the United States. The 1991 NHSDA is the first to
sample households in Alaska and Hawaii in addition to the contiguous United
States. Topics covered in the 1991 NHSDA include tobacco, alcohol, and illicit
drug use; consequences of various drugs; health condition; treatment for drug
use; illegal activities; and use of anabolic steroids and general demographic
information. This data set includes 1,283 variables.

This study was a prospective, longitudinal investigation of 46
full-term infants who had positive urine toxicology screens for phencyclidine (PCP) and other drugs at birth and 39
non-drug-exposed control infants. Infants were followed from birth to 15 months
of age. The study examined fetal growth impairment, as shown by subnormal head
size and/or intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (i.e., birthweight
below the tenth percentile), and later behavioral development in the groups of
drug-exposed and non-drug- exposed infants. Investigators examined 89
variables, including maternal parity, maternal nicotine and alcohol use, caregiver
education, and child placement outside of the biological home in relation to
developmental outcomes.

Since injuries are a leading cause of death and disability among
children and young adults, and one of the most expensive health problems to society,
the National Pediatric Trauma Registry (NPTR) was formed to study the etiology
of pediatric trauma and its consequences. Centered at Tufts-New England Medical
Center, and endorsed by the American Pediatric Surgical Association, the
registry is ongoing and currently funded by the National Institute for
Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) through December, 1997.

The Next Generation of Upper-Limb Prostheses, 1994, is based on a
study entitled The Next Generation of Myoelectric
Prostheses, 1994, which established the TIRR National Upper Limb Amputee Data
Base (copyright 1994, TIRR). The study was conducted by The Institute for
Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR) from September, 1992 through November, 1994.
This epidemiological study established a national data base on adults and
children with upper limb loss and evaluated user perceptions of upper-limb
prosthetic devices regarding: 1) costs, maintenance, and sensory feedback, 2)
activities which can and cannot be done with available prosthetic technology,
and 3) areas identified as most important for improvement in prosthetic
devices. The TIRR National Upper-Limb Amputee Data Base is perhaps the most
extensive survey ever conducted of upper limb amputees in North America
concerning their prosthetic requirements.

During 1989 and 1990, Mathematica Policy
Research, Inc. (MPR) conducted a national survey of facilities that provide
outpatient physical therapy services. The 1991 Study of Outpatient Physical
Therapy Practices, was conducted to provide the American Physical Therapy
Association (APTA) with a description of clients who have received treatment in
outpatient settings. These settings include acute care hospitals,
rehabilitation hospitals, private physical therapy practices (PPTs), and physicians offices. Prior to this study, no
single source or combination of sources could provide detailed and accurate
data on what physical therapists do in relation to treatment and evaluation.
This study was designed to provide reliable estimates of the volume, types,
duration, and charges for physical therapy services provided in different
outpatient settings. The study was conducted annually over three years, with
each wave in the field for 12 months to control for unforeseen seasonal
affects. The first year was considered a pilot study. The second and third
years of data collection are archived here. Facilities were randomly selected
separately for each study year. Data are weighted to correct for sampling
biases. Sampled facilities completed a 20 minute telephone interview. Each
facility was then asked to provide data on a small number of recently
discharged clients. Sociometrics has archived these
data as two separate data sets: facility-level data and patient level data,
which can be merged by a facility identifying variable into a single
hierarchical data set. Data set #23 - the facility-level data - contains 107
variables for 2,520 cases. Data set #24 - the person-level data - contains 198
variables for 12,419 cases.

The State-Federal Program of Vocational Rehabilitation provides
individualized vocational rehabilitation services to persons with disabilities
to help them attain, maintain, or regain employment. In the course of providing
these services, State Rehabilitation Agencies maintain case records on all of
the individuals requesting services under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as
amended. In an effort to improve program evaluation through the exchange of
statistical information, the Department of Education's Rehabilitation Services
Administration (RSA) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) have
established a Data Link. The continuing exchange of RSA-SSA Data was
established in law with Section 141 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of
1992. The merging of records of these two agencies has advanced the
understanding of the rehabilitation experience of disabled persons by providing
their employment, earnings, and beneficiary history following the receipt of
services through the State-Federal Program of Vocational Rehabilitation.

in order to reflect public health data needs. National Health Interview Survey
on Disability, Phase I (NHIS-D) was one of the supplements included in the NHIS
for 1994 and 1995 (complete-merged 1994/95-Phase I data and documentation are
available as RADIUS data set 35-36). The NHIS-D, Phase I was used as a
screening device to determine eligibility for Phase II, which collected
specific data on service use and expenditures as well as aspects of daily life
of people with disabilities. The NHIS-D, Phase II included a questionnaire
administered to children and a separate questionnaire administered to adults.
The Child survey includes information on utilization and the need for services,
functional assessment, and the impact of the child's disability on the family.
The 1994 and 1995 Child surveys were merged and archived by RADIUS staff as
Data Set 37-38. Data Set 37-38 contains 1,199 variables and 6,983 cases. The
Adult questionnaire obtained extensive information on issues such as
employment, transportation needs, personal assistance needs, use of services
and benefits, and participation in social activities. The 1994 and 1995 Adult
surveys were merged and archived by RADIUS staff as Data Set 39-41. Data Set
39-41 contains 2,534 variables and 25,805 cases. An additional Outcome file,
archived as RADIUS Data Set 42, provides information on the response or
non-response of Phase I respondents eligible for either the Adult or Child
phase II. Data Set 42 contains 4 variables and 202,560 cases. Identification
variables are available to link NHIS-D respondents between Phases (I/II) as
well as within households (Child/Adult).

This national study of attitudes and experiences of disabled
persons is a follow-up to the 1994 (NOD) and 1986 (ICD) surveys of disabled
Americans (both earlier studies are in RADIUS as Datasets # 06 and 04,
respectively). Together, the three studies address disabled persons'
self-perceptions, how their lives have changed in the past decade, what their
experiences have been with employment, education, social life, what they
thought must be done to increase their participation in the mainstream of
American society, impact of their disability on the quality of their lives,
their work, social life, daily activities, education, and personal life, as
well as changes in social attitudes and experiences, social activities, and
employment opportunities, the effects of religion, and the impact of technology
and computer aids. Other items address focus on barriers that prevent disabled
people from working, having a full social life, getting around, or using
services; i.e., barriers that excluded them in some way from the mainstream of
American life, or prevented them from achieving their goals. The 1998 NOD study
includes over 300 variables for 1000 cases.

Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study (DATOS), 1991-1994
DATOS
is a prospective study designed to determine the outcomes of drug abuse
treatment delivered in typical, stable, community-based programs and to provide
comprehensive information on continuing and new questions about the
effectiveness of drug abuse treatment currently available in a variety of
publicly funded and private programs. The study examined the role of treatment
outcomes and program type, client characteristics (including dependence,
treatment history, and physical and mental health comorbidities),
treatment received (e.g., length and intensity of services provided),
therapeutic approaches, and provision of aftercare. Four types of programs were
included: outpatient methadone (OPM), short-term inpatient (STI), long-term residential (LTR), and outpatient drug-free (ODF).
Respondents were sampled from among those admitted to treatment in sampled
facilities in 1991-1993. Clients entering treatment completed two comprehensive
intake interviews (Intake 1 and Intake 2), approximately one week apart.

Health Behavior in School-Aged Children, 1996
Since
1982, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe has
sponsored a cross-national, school-based study of health-related attitudes and
behaviors of young people. These studies, generally known as Health Behavior in
School-Aged Children (HBSC), are based on nationally independent surveys of school-aged
children in as many as 30 participating countries. The HBSC studies were conducted every four
years since the 1985-1986 school year. The United States was one of three countries chosen to
implement the survey out of cycle. The data available here are the results of
the United States study from 1996. The study results can
be used as stand-alone data, or to compare to the other countries involved in
the international HBSC. The HBSC study has two main objectives. The first objective is to monitor
health-risk behaviors and attitudes in youth over time to provide background
and identify targets for health promotion initiatives. The second objective is
to provide researchers with relevant information to understand and explain the
development of health attitudes and behaviors through early adolescence. The
study contains 209 variables dealing with many types of drugs such as tobacco,
alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, inhalants, hallucinogens, and a number of other
substances. The study also examines the ease of obtaining drugs, frequency of
drug usage, and other health behaviors and their history such as eating habits,
family make-up, depression, stealing, fighting, bringing weapons to school,
anger management, attention span at school, and opinions about school itself.

Sixteen components focusing on nutritional practices and physical health
comprise this survey of Hispanic Americans. The Body Measurements file includes
anthropometric data on individuals such as skeletal and skin fold measurements,
body circumferences, height, and weight. The Dental Health data provide dental
history information, including the frequency of and reasons for visits to a
dental hygienist, fluoride treatments, and the results of a clinical
examination. The Blood and Urine Assessments component of the study contains
clinical data such as red and white blood cell counts, serum iron and vitamin
levels, amount of lead, and other assays. The Physician's Examination file
provides the results of a basic physical exam, and the Dietary Practices/Food
Frequency component includes information on food recall, special diets,
frequency of meals, and consumption of various types of foods. The Adolescent
and Adult History Questionnaire file supplies information on health care and
problems getting care, dental care, health status, conditions, medical
treatment, pesticide exposure, smoking, acculturation, meal programs for
school-age children, reproductive history, and health status of children.
Measures of Depression provides data on feelings of depression, how depression
affected everyday life, help sought during depression, and weight changes and
sleep loss due to depression. The Alcohol Consumption Data section includes
information on the amount and kind of alcohol consumed, reasons for drinking,
and self-perception of drinking habits. The Drug Abuse file offers information
on the use of barbiturates and other sedatives, marijuana and hash, inhalants,
and cocaine. The Hearing data were collected during the physical examination and
provide information on respondents' ability to hear and the condition of their
hearing organs. The Gallbladder Ultrasound data include information on disease,
history of symptoms, findings of ultrasounds, and physical examinations of the
gallbladder. Diabetes and OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) data were also
collected. Respondents were asked whether they had diabetes and were also
questioned about age of onset, medication taken, diet, and if the OGTT had been
administered. The file also contains detailed information on the OGTT, diet
before the testing, time intervals between blood drawings, and plasma glucose
values in milligrams and deciliters. The Vision section furnishes information on
the respondent's eyesight, whether he or she had a problem seeing, appliances
worn, age when corrective lenses were first worn, if a doctor had been visited
for sight problems, and findings from a physician's examination. Measurements of
the respondent's visual acuity with and without correction are also included in
the data. The Child History section includes information on health status,
health care utilization, infant feeding practices, participation in meal
programs, school attendance, and language use. The 24-Hour Recall lists amounts
of calories, protein, total fat, fatty acids, cholesterol, carbohydrates,
dietary fiber, alcohol, vitamins, and minerals for each food item consumed by
each person. It also contains a description of the food, ingestion period,
approximate time of consumption, and food source. The data from the Measurement
and Interpretation of Electrocardiograms file give an objective measure of the
cardiac health status of individuals examined in the survey. Despite the
limitations of such data, the electrocardiographic variables are carefully and
completely defined. Also, an extensive process was used to ensure the accuracy
of the findings. In addition, each part of this collection provides
sociodemographic data, such as age, race, national origin, birthplace,
education, employment, insurance, and use of public assistance. Also included
are family data including number of people in the family, family income, poverty
index, use of food stamps, and size of residence.
