Show/Hide Abstract

Abstract: This report summarizes the findings of the qualitative evaluation on twelve questions related to general health, stress, sleep, healthcare, and one question related to community involvement. These questions are to be included on the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), a survey that has been conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics since 1957, that provides the public with data and trends of the nations’ health. NHIS is currently testing a redesigned survey, which will be implemented in January of 2019. The twelve questions evaluated in this report are a part of a larger set of questions about cognitive functioning. Two additional questions on cognitive functioning were analyzed separately (Massey, 2016). The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of each question, specifically to determine patterns of difficulty that arose with the questions and to determine how respondents interpreted each question.
