Question Text

Medicare refers to the Federal health insurance coverage for persons 65+ years of
age and certain disabled persons under 65.
NHIS data have been linked with health-related records of government agencies such
as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Social Security
Administration. NHIS data have also been linked with death certificate data stored in
the National Death Index (NDI). The NDI is a database of death certificate information
provided to NCHS by State offices.
All personal identifying information is removed from the linked data files.
These are some examples of possible research studies using NHIS data together with
other health-related records or the NDI:
[blt] Predicting the number of disabled persons in the U.S. based on health conditions
reported in the NHIS.
[blt] Predicting the costs of Medicare based on health conditions reported in the NHIS.
[blt] Studying the risk of certain diseases for persons with and without health
insurance.
[blt] Studying the health characteristics of people who retire early.
[blt] Calculating how long a person in the U.S. might live, based on his or her
education, income, or race and ethnicity.

Indicate both a general and specific function for employers and businesses. For
example, in "copper mine" the word "mine" is general and the word "copper" is specific.
For Government Agencies: If the title clearly designates the main function of the
agency, enter the name of the agency (e.g., the U.S. Census Bureau.) If the main
function is not clear from the title, ask for and report the division or branch for which
the person works.
For Firms with more than one business: If activities are carried on in separate places,
describe the business in which the person actually worked. If activities are carried on
in the same place, describe the main activity.
For household or domestic workers: Determine if the person works for a business or
private home. If it is a business, enter the name of the business. If it is a private
home, enter "private home".
Manufacturing: Makes and sells its products in large lots to other manufacturers,
wholesalers, or retailers.
Wholesale trade: Buys products in large quantities for resale to retailers, industrial
users, or to other wholesalers.
Retail trade: Sells primarily to individual consumers and seldom makes products.
Some other kinds of business: Any other type of establishment that renders a service
to individuals and/or organizations. Examples are hotels, dry cleaners, advertising
agencies, restaurants, and automobile repair shops.

Days in bed are any days during which the sample adult stayed in bed MORE than
half of the day because of illness or injury. "More than half of the day" is defined as
more than half of the hours that the sample adult is usually awake. Count as days in
bed all days a sample adult spent as an overnight patient in a hospital, sanitarium,
nursing home, etc., whether or not the patient was actually lying in bed, even if there
was no illness or injury.
A bed is anything used for lying down or sleeping, including a sofa, cot or mattress.
Always probe for an exact number. If the sample adult reports a range or interval,
assist the sample adult in making an estimate by probing. For example, you might ask

Question Text

"Problem" is the sample adult's perception of a departure from physical, mental or
emotional well-being. This incudes specific health problems, such as a disease or
condition, a missing extremity or organ, or any type of impairment. It also includes
more vague disorders not always thought of as health related problems or illnesses
such as alcoholism, drug dependency or reaction, senility, depression, retardation, etc.
"Special Equipment" is any device, tool, utensil, instrument, implement, etc., used as
an aid in performing an activity because of a physical, mental or emotional problem.
This incudes the use of adult "diapers" for incontinence. For example: a spoon is not
normally considered as "special equipment"; however, a uniquely designed or
functioning one used for eating by a person because of
physical, mental, or emotional problems is considered "special equipment."

Question Text

Difficult is respondent defined.
"Problem" is the sample adult's perception of a departure from physical, mental or
emotional well-being. This includes specific health problems, such as a disease or
condition, a missing extremity or organ, or any type of impairment. It also includes
more vague disorders not always thought of as health related problems or illnesses
such as alcoholism, drug dependency or reaction, senility, depression, retardation, etc.
"Special Equipment" is any device, tool, utensil, instrument, implement, etc., used as
an aid in performing an activity because of a physical, mental or emotional problem.
This includes the use of adult "diapers" for incontinence. For example: a spoon is not
normally considered as "special equipment"; however, a uniquely designed or
functioning one used for eating by a person because of physical, mental, or emotional
problems is considered "special equipment."

"Difficult" is respondent defined.
If the sample adult gives an answer which does not match the categories
on the flashcard, reread the question emphasizing the wording of the
answer categories.

Question Text

The next question is about electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes. You may also know
them as vape-pens, hookah-pens, e-hookahs, or e-vaporizers. Some look like
cigarettes, and others look like pens or small pipes. These are battery-powered,
usually contain liquid nicotine, and produce vapor instead of smoke.
Have you EVER used an e-cigarette EVEN ONE TIME?
*Read if necessary: E-cigarettes and similar products can be bought as one-time,
disposable products, as re-usable kits with a cartridge, or with refillable chambers.
These usually contain a liquid, often called an “e-liquid” or “e-juice.” Popular brands
include NJOY, BLU, LOGIC, and VUSE.

Question Text

There are currently two types of tetanus shots available today. One is the Td or
tetanus-diphtheria vaccine and the other is called Tdap or Adacel (trademark) or
Boostrix (trademark). They are similar except the Tdap shot also includes a pertussis
(per-TUH-sis) or whooping cough vaccine. Thinking back to your most recent tetanus
shot, did your health care provider tell you or did the vaccine information sheet say
the vaccine included the pertussis or whooping cough vaccine? The shot is often
called Tdap or ADACEL (trademark) or BOOSTRIX (trademark).
