Show/Hide Abstract

Abstract: This report documents cognitive testing results on the 2010 cancer supplement of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The supplement is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health. Testing took place in two rounds between October and December, 2008. Cancer screening and survivorship questions are located in the sample adult section of the NHIS. The questions tested focused primarily on vitamin use, smoking, experiences with surviving cancer, and cancer screening tests, such as the PSA test, pap test, mammography, spiral CT scan and chest x-ray, and colorectal screenings (including sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, CT colonography, and fecal occult blood test). The majority of this report presents a question-by-question analysis of the survey questions. Emphasis is placed on exploring interpretive patterns and understanding the construct being measured by the survey questions. The discussion of these questions includes descriptions of how respondents interpreted question intent and explanations of why and how respondents interpreted the questions the way they did. Analysis is included for most questions, however, some items were unable to be fully examined due to sample size, questionnaire length (there are approximately 120 questions) and/or limited time.
