Show/Hide Abstract

Abstract: The National Center for Health Statistics’ Collaborating Center for Questionnaire Design and Evaluation Research conducted a cognitive interview study to evaluate questions on the topics of walking and lung cancer screening, intended for inclusion in the 2020 National Health Interview Survey. A set of questions designed to measure walking behavior and the influence of the environment on walking behavior, was evaluated. The main objective was to determine whether respondents could distinguish between the concepts of walking for transportation purposes and walking for leisure or exercise purposes. A set of questions designed to measure when respondents had last received a CT scan screening for lung cancer was also evaluated. The main objective was to test the comprehension of the concept of the CT scan itself.
