**State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey**

In response to the need for the    development of a national capacity to generate high quality State level data for tracking    and monitoring current and emerging health and welfare policy-related issues, the State    and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS) was initiated. SLAITS was designed to    provide quick turnaround data on a variety of broad health and welfare related issues and    includes questions on health insurance coverage, access to care, health status,    utilization of services and basic demographic and socioeconomic information taken from the    National Health Interview Survey. It uses the same telephone design approach as used in    the National Immunization Survey. The study will provide a mechanism for State and    national comparisons of data and also allow for customization for State specific needs.    Data collection for a number of pilot States were conducted in 1997.
