Proposed Project 

National Survey of Residential Care 

Facilities (NSRCF) (OMB No. 0920– 

0780)—Revision—National Center for 

Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, ‘‘shall collect 

statistics on health resources * * * 

[and] utilization of health care, 

including extended care facilities, and 

other institutions.’’ 

In 2008, NCHS sought approval for a 

pretest and full survey of The National 

Survey of Residential Care Facilities 

(NSRCF). OMB approved only the 

pretest which has been completed. 

NCHS now seeks approval to collect the 

full survey. The survey is designed to 

complement data collected by other 

Federal surveys and to fill a significant 

data gap about a major portion of the 

long-term care population. Data from 

NSRCF will provide information on 

residential care facilities that 

policymakers, providers, and 

researchers can use to address a wide 

array of policy and research questions. 

The survey will utilize a computerassisted personal interviewing (CAPI) 

system to collect information about 

facility and resident characteristics. 

This computerized system speeds the 

flow of data; making it possible to 

release information on a timely basis 

and easier for respondents to participate 

in the survey. The CAPI system may 

also enhance data quality. Clearance for 

two years is being requested. 

A stratified random sample of 

residential care facilities across four 

strata (small, medium, large and very 

large) will be selected to participate in 

NSRCF. To be eligible a facility must be 

licensed, registered, listed, certified, or 

otherwise regulated by the State; 

provide room and board with at least 

two meals a day; provide around-theclock on-site supervision; assist with 

activities of daily living (e.g., bathing, 

eating, or dressing) or medication 

supervision; serve a primarily adult 

population; and have at least four beds. 

The facility questionnaire will collect 

data about facility characteristics (e.g., 

size, age, types of rooms), services 

offered, characteristics of the resident 

population, facility policies and 

services, charges for services, and 

background of the director. The resident 

questionnaire collects information on 

resident demographics, current living 

arrangements within the facility, 

involvement in activities, use of 

services, charges for care, health status, 

and cognitive and physical functioning. 

For the national survey, 

approximately 2,250 facilities will be 

surveyed for an annual average of 1,125 

facilities; information on an average of 

4 residents will be collected from the 

annual average facility staff. Residents 

themselves will not be interviewed. 

Users of NSRCF data include, but are 

not limited to CDC; other Department of 

Health and Human Services (DHHS) 

agencies, such as the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Planning and 

Evaluation and the Agency for 

Healthcare Research and Quality; and 

associations, such as the American 

Association of Homes and Services for 

the Aging, National Center for Assisted 

Living, American Seniors Housing 

Association, Assisted Living Federation 

of America; universities; foundations; 

and other private sector organizations. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

3,572.

Proposed Project 

National Health Interview Survey 

(NHIS), (OMB No. 0920–0214 exp. 12/ 

31/09)—Revision—National Center for 

Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on the extent and nature of 

illness and disability of the population 

of the United States. 

The annual National Health Interview 

Survey is a major source of general 

statistics on the health of the U.S. 

population and has been in the field 

continuously since 1957. Clearance is 

sought for three years, to collect data for 

2010, 2011, and 2012. This voluntary 

household-based survey collects 

demographic and health-related 

information on a nationally 

representative sample of persons and 

households throughout the country. 

Information is collected using computer 

assisted personal interviews (CAPI). A 

core set of data is collected each year 

while sponsored supplements vary from 

year to year. For 2010, we are revising 

the supplements to collect information 

on cancer, immunization, disability, 

occupational injury, epilepsy, and child 

mental health. 

In accordance with the 1995 initiative 

to increase the integration of surveys 

within the Department of Health and 

Human Services, respondents to the 

NHIS serve as the sampling frame for 

the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey 

conducted by the Agency for Healthcare 

Research and Quality. The NHIS has 

long been used by government, 

university, and private researchers to 

evaluate both general health and 

specific issues, such as cancer, diabetes, 

and access to health care. It is a leading 

source of data for the Congressionallymandated ‘‘Health US’’ and related 

publications, as well as the single most 

important source of statistics to track 

progress toward the National Health 

Promotion and Disease Prevention 

Objectives, ‘‘Healthy People 2010.’’ 

There is no cost to the respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

34,977.
