Component Description

The medical conditions (variable name prefix MCQ) section provides self- and proxy-reported personal interview data on a broad range of health conditions and medical history for both children and adults.

Eligible Sample

The target sample for questions in this section varies by age and gender. Please review the questionnaire and codebook carefully.  

Interview Setting and Mode of Administration

This questionnaire was asked, in the home or by telephone, by trained interviewers, using the Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) system.

The NHANES August 2021-August 2023 questionnaire is available on 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. Interviewers were required to audio-record interviews. The recorded interviews were reviewed by interviewer supervisors and NCHS staff. 

Data Processing and Editing

Frequency counts were checked, “skip” patterns were verified, and the reasonableness of question responses was reviewed. Edits were made to ensure the completeness, consistency, and analytic usefulness of the data. Edits were also made, when necessary, to address data disclosure concerns.

Analytic Notes

Several questions were dropped in NHANES 2021-2023 and are not included in this data file, including MCQ025, MCQ080, MCQ092,  MCQ151, MCQ180B, MCQ520, MCQ530, MCQ540, MCQ570, MCQ206, MCQ300A, MCQ300B, MCQ300C, MCQ366A, MCQ366B, MCQ366C, MCQ366D, MCQ371A, MCQ371B, MCQ371C, MCQ371D, MCQ088, MCD093, RHD018, MCD180C, MCD180D, MCD180E, MCD180F, MCD180M, and MCD180L.

The analysis of NHANES August 2021–August 2023 MCQ data must be conducted using the appropriate survey design variables, sample weights, and the basic demographic variables. Although these data were collected as part of the household questionnaire, if they are merged with the MEC exam data, exam sample weights should be used for the analyses.

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