Proposed Project

    2005 National Health Interview Survey, OMB No. 0920-0214--
Revision--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    The annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a basic 
source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population. 
Respondents to the NHIS also serve as the sampling frame for the 
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey which is conducted by the Agency for 
Healthcare Research and Quality. The NHIS has long been used by 
government, university, and private researchers to evaluate both 
general health and specific issues, such as cancer, AIDS, and access to 
health care. Journalists use its data to inform the general public. It 
will continue to be a leading source of data for the Congressional-
mandated ``Health US'' and related publications. NHIS is the single 
most important source of statistics to track progress toward the 
National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives, ``Healthy 
People 2010.''
    The NHIS has been in the field continuously since 1957. Due to 
survey integration and changes in the health and health care of the 
U.S. population, demands on the NHIS have changed and increased, 
leading to a major redesign of the annual core questionnaire or Basic 
Module, and a shift from paper questionnaires to computer assisted 
personal interviews (CAPI). These redesigned elements were fully 
implemented in 1997. This clearance is for the ninth full year of data 
collection using the core questionnaire on CAPI, and for the 
implementation of a supplement sponsored by the National Cancer 
Institute. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. 
The estimated annualized burden is 39,837 hours.
