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 healthcare 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 are repeated annually. 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. This change request contains a proposal to add items on COVID-19 vaccination to the Sample Adult questionnaire beginning on April 1, 2021. Additionally, the NHIS is planning to add similar items to the Sample Child questionnaire beginning July 1 or October 1, 2021. This content was incorporated into the burden estimates in the initial submission, but at that time, the items themselves were not yet finalized.
