Component Description

This section contains questions for females only. Questions on reproductive health include menstrual history, pregnancy history, lactation, oral contraceptive and hormone replacement therapy use, and other related conditions.

Eligible Sample

Female mobile examination center participants, 12 years and older, were eligible.

Interview Setting and Mode of Administration

These questions were administered at the mobile examination center, by trained interviewers, using the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) system as part of the Mobile Examination Center (MEC) interview. Both proxy interviewers and interpreters were permitted for these questions.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

The CAPI system is programmed with built-in consistency checks to reduce data entry errors. CAPI also uses online help screens to assist interviewers in defining key terms used in the questionnaire.

Data Processing and Editing

Edits were made to ensure the completeness, consistency and analytic usefulness of the data.

Analytic Notes

MEC exam sample weights should be used for the analyses. Due to sample design changes starting in 2007, pregnant women and individuals 12-19 were no longer oversampled. Additionally, for each of the race/ethnicity domains, the former 12-15 and 16-19 years age domains were combined. These changes resulted in a decrease in 12-19 year-olds, as compared to previous cycles. Therefore, unweighted frequencies of certain reproductive conditions may differ slightly in this survey cycle compared to survey cycles prior to 2007.

For further discussion, please see the  https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/continuousnhanes/default.aspx?BeginYear=2011, available on the NHANES website.

The data file containing complete records for variables related to pregnancy for females 20-44 years of age (RHQ_G) are publicly released and available on the NHANES website (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/search/datapage.aspx?Component=Examination&CycleBeginYear=2011).

However, please note that in the publicly released data file, information related to current pregnancy is unavailable for females 45 years and older due to disclosure concerns.

Please refer to the NHANES Analytic Guidelines and the on-line NHANES Tutorial for further details on the use of sample weights and other analytic issues.
