CDC/NCHS may use
the non-substantive change mechanism to modify existing questions,
including those designed to add depth/additional detail and cycle
in and out supplemental modules that have been used in the past
years (with modest updates). A non-substantive change request is
required before fielding the proposed incentive experiment. If new
supplemental modules, new questionnaire instruments, or
modifications to the sample are anticipated, a full revision of the
ICR package must be submitted to OMB.

CDC is requesting revision to the
annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). NHIS is a major
source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population
and has been in the field every year since 1957. This
household-based survey collects demographic and health-related
information on a nationally representative sample of households
throughout the country. This revision seeks approval to continue
the NHIS for 2014-2016, to cycle in questions on various topics
including heart disease and stroke, arthritis, hearing, food
security, immunization, tobacco use, questions to measure the
impact of the Affordable Care Act, child mental health, functioning
and disability, hepatitis screening, and sexual identity, continue
the increase in sample size funded under the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, In 2014 we will introduce a Native Hawaiian
and Pacific Islander NHIS and conduct a web-based mult-imode
follow-back survey of sample adult respondents from an earlier
NHIS. The survey will focus on adult health, health care access and
use, and health insurance coverage. Permission to conduct a test of
incentive use with the NHIS is also sought.
