Dear <>:
A Census Bureau interviewer, <>, visited your home to ask for your participation in
the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Here is more information about this survey.
The Census Bureau has conducted this survey since 1957 for the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The survey
was created under Title 42, United States Code, section 242K to report on the health of the
nation. It asks about doctor visits, medical conditions, health insurance, physical activity, and
injuries. This information is needed for health research and planning for future health services.
We pick a sample of addresses to represent all areas of the U.S. Your household represents
thousands of other houses. We cannot replace your address with another. Your input is vital.
We take your privacy seriously. Your answers are combined with those of all other respondents
and used only for statistical purposes. NCHS and its agents, which includes the Census Bureau,
will not disclose any information about you or your household. You also do not have to answer
any questions you do not want to.
We hope you will be able to give us some of your time to answer our questions. Your
participation in this survey is very important. To set up an appointment, please call the Census
interviewer <> at <>. If you need more information, please call our
regional office.
Thank you for answering the needs of your community and nation through your input in this
survey.
Sincerely,

Allen R. Wells, Survey Statistician
