Abstract:
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a continuous nationally representative sample of the civilian, non-institutionalized U.S. population. The survey is unique in that it contains interview, laboratory and physical examination segments. The examination component is conducted in mobile examination centers that travel to fifteen survey locations each year. NHANES data have been the cornerstone for numerous national health and nutrition policy and surveillance activities. This request for Revision includes obtaining clearance to conduct NHANES sample person and family interviews; Mobile Examination Center (MEC) examinations and interviews. The Program is making changes specific to 2021-22 data collection to adapt the survey due to the COVID-19 disease pandemic and related concerns. These changes impact a broad range of survey areas, such as sample design, operational procedures (e.g., interview and examination modes and MEC hours), NHANES content (questionnaires, exam components, and laboratory measures), and outreach materials. Additionally, a priority in making COVID-19 related changes to NHANES content is to ensure safety for participants and staff as well as to add COVID-19 antibody laboratory assessments and COVID-19 questions relevant to interpreting these assessments. NHANES will collect data on a single-year nationally representative sample of 5,000 people during 2021–2022, oversampling children (0-19 years old) and older persons (60 years and over).
