2020 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Questionnaire

Contents
1. Introduction
This National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) questionnaire report provides the questions administered to NHIS respondents in the order they were asked. It is organized hierarchically into these parts: Contents, Index, and NHIS questionnaire, which in turn includes the Roster, Adult and Child modules.
2. Section Index
A section index is provided for each of the three modules: Roster, Adult, and Child. The index can be navigated via the Bookmarks pane to quickly get information about the different sections in the module. The display pane lists information about each section in the module including the three-letter section name, the section description, the type of content in the section (annual core, rotating core, sponsored or emerging content) and the page range in this document for each section for ease of printing.
3. NHIS questionnaire: Roster, Adult and Child modules
The questionnaire is the main part of the report and provides detailed information about each question in the survey. The hierarchy in the Bookmarks pane has three levels: module (Roster, Adult, and Child), sections within each module, and questions within each section represented by the variable name in the instrument. The sections and questions are listed in questionnaire order. Selecting a specific question in the Bookmarks pane will display a detailed report for that question in the display pane while selecting a section abbreviation will display the report for the first question in the section.
In the question text field of the report, text displayed in bold and in blue font is an interviewer instruction which is sometimes followed by optional text in gray, italic font.
Information provided for each question includes:
- Question ID: unique alphanumeric code for each question beginning with the 3-letter section abbreviation
- Variable: instrument variable name for the question
- Interview Module: module where the question is located: Roster, Adult, or Child
- Content Type: indicates whether the question is part of the Annual Core, Rotating Core, Sponsored Content, or Emerging Content
- Question Text: question wording administered to respondent with indicators for fills; may also include interviewer instructions
- Fills: table of contextual text substitutions that are filled into the question text
- Response: table of possible responses to the question
- Universe: group of respondents who received the question
- Skip Instructions: instructions for moving to the next question in the questionnaire
Additional information may include:
- Hard Edit: prompt received when response entered is not allowed; response must be changed in order to proceed
- Soft Edit: prompt received when response entered is questionable; must follow instructions in order to proceed
- Replicate To: indicates family-level information obtained in the Sample Adult interview that is copied to a replicated variable in the Sample Child and vice versa for efficiency when the Sample Child and the Sample Adult are in the same family.
