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.

Abstract:
The NHIS, conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) since 1957, collects, on an annual basis, nationally representative data on the amount, distribution, and effects of illness and disability in the population and on the utilization of health care services for such conditions. NHIS data are used widely throughout the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to monitor trends in illness and disability and to track progress toward achieving many of the health objectives for the nation. The data are also used by the public health research community for epidemiologic and policy analysis of such issues as characterizing those with various health problems, measuring levels of health insurance coverage, determining barriers to accessing and using health care, and evaluating the impact of changes in federal health programs. The current design of the NHIS questionnaire was implemented in 1997, and consists of a standard basic or Core Module, covering general health topics and demographic characteristics that is repeated every year. In addition to the Core Module, each year supplementary questions or modules are included. Topics are rotated in and out of the annual NHIS depending on funding availability and data requirements of federal programs such as Healthy People 2020. A redesigned NHIS questionnaire, which differs significantly from the current design in both content and structure, is scheduled to begin in 2019. A dress rehearsal and systems test of the redesigned instrument is planned in 2018. Its purpose is to ensure that the programmed instrument for the redesigned questionnaire is working properly, and to identify any operational issues that would be problematic in a full-scale implementation of the redesigned questionnaire in 2019.

Short Statement:
This revision of the National Health Interview Survey for 2018-2020 results in an overall decrease in Burden Hours due completion of some of the special projects to inform the 2019 questionnaire redesign and the fact that the redesigned questionnaire to be implemented in 2019 and 2020 is shorter than the version used in 2107 and the first three quarters of 2018.
