Component Description

The medical conditions section (prefix MCQ) provides self-reported personal interview data on a broad range of health conditions for both children and adults. The NHANES MCQ questionnaire section is generally modeled on the “Medical Conditions” questionnaire section of the U.S. National Health Interview Survey. A number of questions on health conditions are identical to those used in the redesigned National Health Interview Survey adult and child core sections that started in 1997.

Major Topics in the MCQ Section

Health Conditions / Medical History:

Family History of Disease:

Questions Regarding Twelve Month Period Prevalence of Disablement:

Eligible Sample

The target samples for questions in this section vary by age and gender. Please review the questionnaire and codebook carefully. Frequency counts were verified during the preparation of the file.

Interview Setting and Mode of Administration

These questions were asked before the physical examination, in the home, using the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing-CAPI (interviewer administered) system.

The survey questionnaire can be found at the NHANES website.

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

The data were reviewed and edited for completeness, consistency, and illogical values.

Analytic Notes

A number of additional questions occur in MCQ that are logically related to other questionnaire sections or exam segments. Analysts should refer to these other NHANES sections as part of any data analysis.

Please refer to the Analytic Guidelines for further details on the use of sample weights and other analytic issues. The Analytic Guidelines are available on the NHANES website.
