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.

Proposed Project 

Field Test of Communication and 

Marketing Variables for Health 

Protection—New—National Center for 

Health Marketing/Coordinating Center 

for Health Information Service (NCHM/ 

CCHIS), Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC does not have a mechanism to 

assess and monitor the health 

communication and marketing 

components of health protection. While 

CDC does invest in formative and 

process evaluation of specific health 

communication and marketing programs 

and projects, the common elements 

rooted in communication and marketing 

theories and constructs are not 

identified across programs and projects, 

nor frequently compared after the fact to 

ascertain the underlying factors and 

dynamics that inform and shape 

individual and group behaviors and 

actions. The purpose of this project is to 

develop a core set of communication 

and marketing variables that can be 

used to inform CDC health protection 

programs and projects as well as track 

population-level changes over time. 

The proposed data collection is to 

conduct a field test of the survey 

instrument focusing on the core 

communication and marketing 

constructs for health protection 

behaviors. The field test survey will be 

administered to a purposive sample of 

1,925 respondents. Two modes of 

administration will be tested, telephone 

(both landline and cell) and selfadministration via the Web. The 

telephone survey will be conducted in 

five geographical locations. The Web 

survey will use an on-going national 

consumer panel. 

Rather than randomly sampling from 

the population, CDC has identified 

subpopulations of particular interest 

and interviewers will achieve quotas of 

completed interviews from each group. 

This purposive sampling is designed to 

reach adult persons who are vulnerable 

from a health protection perspective. It 

is of particular importance to interview 

those known to have low health literacy, 

that is, difficulty accessing and/or 

understanding health messages so CDC 

can work to meet their needs. Therefore, 

included in the target groups are the 

elderly, who may be somewhat isolated 

and for whom health messages may be 

confusing; people of low socioeconomic 

status (SES), whose level of education 

can be a barrier to comprehending and 

following health messages; and persons 

not fluent in English, for whom 

innovative ways of communicating 

health messages may be necessary. In 

addition to English, interviews will be 

conducted in three other languages, 

Spanish, Cantonese and Vietnamese. 

Members of the general population will 

be surveyed as well in order to provide 

a benchmark for the subpopulations of 

interest. Demographic variables that will 

be used to screen respondents into the 

subpopulations of interest include age, 

education, and race and ethnicity. 

Interviewing will continue with specific 

subpopulations until quotas are 

reached. Incentives will not be provided 

to survey respondents. 

CDC will use the field test data to 

assess continuity of response patterns 

within each of the subgroups and to 

determine differences in administration 

time. In addition to subgroup 

population differences in attitudes, 

beliefs, and health behaviors, CDC will 

use the data to examine item-level mode 

effects, regional differences, and 

administrative/logistical barriers to 

guide the design of core measure 

surveys for other health protection 

behaviors. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time to 

complete the survey. The total estimated 

annual burden hours are 1,222.
