The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) is one of a series of health-related programs sponsored by the United States National Center for Health Statistics. A unique feature of NHANES is the administration of a complete medical examination for each respondent in the sample. To standardize administration, these examinations are carried out in mobile examination centers (MECs). The examination includes physical measurements, tests such as eye and dental examinations, and the collection of blood and urine specimens for laboratory testing. NHANES is an ongoing annual health survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the United States. The major analytic goals of NHANES include estimating the number and percentage of persons in the U.S. population and in designated subgroups with selected diseases and risk factors. The sample design for NHANES needs to create a balance between the requirements for efficient annual and multiyear samples and the flexibility that allows changes in key design parameters to make the survey more responsive to the needs of the research and health policy communities. This paper discusses the challenges involved in designing and implementing a sample selection process that satisfies the goals of NHANES.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - 1,272. Measuring the health of populations: the conceptual and analytic approach of the Global Burden of Disease Study ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110428Description:
In the last two decades, considerable international effort has been put into the development of summary measures of population health that integrate information of mortality and non-fatal health outcomes and international policy interest in such indicators is increasing. There are two main classes of summary measures of population health: health gaps and health expectancies. The Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) is the best known health gap measure and quantifies the gap between a population's actual health and a normative health goal, defined in terms of a global standard life table specifying the healthy years of life lost due to a death at any given age.
This paper gives an overview of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) conceptual framework, the relationship of the DALY to other measures of population health, and the GBD analytical approach, with particular attention to issues in (1) dealing with biased and missing data, (2) dealing with uncertainty and (3) specific technical issues in ensuring cross-population comparability. The latter include dealing with variations in quality and completeness of cause of death information, explicit use of a comprehensive framework and internal consistency checks for improving comparability of estimates of incidence, prevalence and mortality for causes, the assessment of disability weights, and techniques for improving the comparability of the assessment of the disease burden attributable to risk factors.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - 1,273. International comparisons in measuring health states: experiences from the world health surveys ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110429Description:
During the last three decades, there has been general acceptance of an approach to describing health states of individuals in terms of multiple domains of health, and in developing self-report instruments that seek information on each of these domains. A health state is thus a multi-dimensional attribute of an individual that reflects his or her levels on the various components or domains of health. Thus, a health state differs from pathology, risk factors or etiology, and from health service encounters or interventions.
How to describe health states, is a central challenge in undertaking the measurement of health. The relationship of health states to other aspects of health such as future non-fatal health outcomes or risk of mortality need to be examined. The way people report their own health varies consistently with factors such as education, sex, age, or other cultural factors. Various people use different response category cut-points across cultures or population sub-groups, and this 'response shift' implies that self-report categorical data are not comparable across individuals. The responses cannot be directly used to measure health without adjustment.
In recognition of this the WHO World Health Surveys (WHS), used a set of questions across a core set of domains to measure health states and employed vignettes to detect and correct for biases in self-report in order to adjust for response category cut-point shifts. This paper will describe the instrument used in the WHS and the methods used to provide cross population comparable data. It will present results from the WHS demonstrating the existence of systematic reporting biases, the ability of respondents to rate vignettes and their use to adjust for biases in order to make data more comparable. Future strategies to address these problems will be discussed.

Release date: 2008-03-17 - 1,275. Application of statistical disclosure methods to the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program Database ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110431Description:
We describe statistical disclosure control methods (SDC) developed for a public release Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) micro-data file. CHIRPP is a national injury surveillance database managed by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). After describing CHIRPP, the paper includes a brief overview of basic SDC concepts, as an introduction to the process for selecting and developing the appropriate SDC methods for CHIRPP given its specific challenges and requirements. We then summarize some key results. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implication of this work for the health information field and closing remarks with respect to the some methodological issues for consideration.

The process of public-use micro-data files creation involves a number of components. One of its key elements is RTI International's innovative MASSC methodology. However, there are other major components in this process such as treatment of non-core identifying variables and extreme outcomes for extra protection. The statistical disclosure limitation is designed to counter both inside and outside intrusion. The components of the process are accordingly designed.

In 1999, the first nationally representative survey of the mental health of children and young people aged 5-15 was carried out in Great Britain. A second survey was carried out in 2004. The aim of these surveys was threefold: to estimate the prevalence of mental disorders among young people, to look at their use of health, social and educational services, and to investigate risk factors associated with mental disorders. The achieved number of interviews was 10,500 and 8,000 respectively. Some key questions had to be addressed on a large number of methodological issues and the factors taken into account to reach decisions on all these issues are discussed.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - 1,278. Discussion and presentation of the disability test results from the Current Population Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110438Description:
In accordance with an effort to design a set of questions for the Current Population Survey (CPS) to measure disability, potential questions were drawn from existing surveys, cognitively and field tested. Based on an analysis of the test data, a set of seven questions was identified, cognitively tested, and placed in the February 2006 CPS for testing. Analysis of the data revealed a lower overall disability rate as measured in the CPS than in the field test, with lower positive response rates for each question. The data did not indicate that there was an adverse effect on the response rates.

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 3231Description: This is an administrative survey that collects demographic information annually from all provincial and territorial vital statistics registries on all live births in Canada. 2017 birth and stillbirth data for Yukon are not available. Due to improvements in methodology and timeliness, the duration of data collection has been shortened compared to previous years. As a result, there may have been fewer births and stillbirths captured by the time of the release. The 2017 data are therefore considered preliminary.
