Everyone,
You may be interested to know that the CDC is proposing a redesign of the NHIS. See
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/2018_quest_redesign.htm[cdc.gov]<
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cdc.gov_nchs_nhis_2018-5Fquest-5Fredesign.htm&d=CwMFaQ&c=8v77JlHZOYsReeOxyYXDU39VUUzHxyfBUh7fw_ZfBDA&r=VKBEDrI-4YYLaJVodCF1gKaIQ5dqQoyubJF8M_lSv1E&m=MKDrfkpftjqpvF5zk6UEy0Kv9ogPoZ5_FZwPZqfLsI0&s=NiToDLrqOuQWk1nWFPhBLtB95bTOof4Lea5uAw9jn1Q&e=>
Some of the more controversial aspects of the redesign involve eliminating most household or family-level information from the survey including income, poverty status, demographic information, public assistance receipt. They are only going to collect information on a random sampled adult and a random sample child in the household.
The comment period extends through March 15, 2016. To provide comments, please send an email to healthsurveys_at_cdc.gov<mailto:healthsurveys_at_cdc.gov?subject=Redesign>.
