Abstract: This report documents cognitive testing results on the 2008 immunization & cancer screening supplement of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The supplement is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health and the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Testing took place in two rounds between June and August of 2007.The majority of this report presents a question-by-question analysis of the survey questions. Emphasis is placed on items that have the potential to generate response error, that is, they may not capture the information they were designed to measure. The discussion of these questions includes descriptions of how respondents interpreted question intent and explanations of why and how questions presented problems for respondents.
