Read the accompanying description of the survey, “The Plan andOperation of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey”,DHHS Publication No. (PHS) 85-1321 before conducting analyses ofthe data on this tape.

Two aspects of HHANES, especially, should be taken into accountwhen conducting any analyses: the sample weights and the complexsurvey design.

Analyses should not be conducted on data combined from the threeportions of the survey (Mexican-American, Cuban-American, PuertoRican).

HHANES is a survey of Hispanic households and some of the samplepersons included on this tape are not of Hispanic origin. A detaileddescription of the data codes dealing with national origin or ancestryappears in the NOTES section of this document.

Examine the range and frequency of values of a variable beforeconducting an analysis of data. The range may include unusual orunexpected values. The frequency counts may be useful to determinewhich analyses may be worthwhile.

Language of Interview, which may appear several places on this tape,can vary depending on the questionnaire (several used in the survey)and on whether the response was provided by the sample person orby a proxy.

For some data items, reference is made to a note. The notes (in aseparate section of this document) may be very important in dataanalyses. Attention to them is strongly urged.

For some data items, the number of sample persons with a positiveresponse is very small. In these instances, it may not be possible toproduce a reliable population estimate.

This Public Use Data Tape has been edited very carefully. Numerous consistencyand other checks were also performed. Nevertheless, due especially to the largenumber of data items, some errors may have gone undetected.

Please bring to the attention of NCHS any errors in the data tape or thedocumentation. Errata sheets will be sent to people who have purchased thedata tapes and corrections will be made to subsequently released data tapes.

In publications, please acknowledge NCHS as the original data source. Theacknowledgment should include a disclaimer crediting the authors for analyses,interpretations, and conclusions; NCHS should be cited as being responsible foronly the collection and processing of the data, In addition, NCHS requests thatthe acronym HHANES be placed in the abstracts of journal articles and otherpublications based on data from this survey in order to facilitate the retrieval ofsuch materials through automated bibliographic searches, Please send reprintsof journal articles and other publications that include data from this tape toNCHS.

SECTION A. INTRODUCTION AND SURVEY DESCRIPTION

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) collects, analyzes, anddisseminates data on the health status of Americans. The results of surveys,analyses, and studies are made known primarily through publications and therelease of computer data tapes. This document contains details required toguide programmers, statistical analysts, and research scientists in the use of aPublic Use Data Tape.

From 1960 through 1980 NCHS conducted five population-based, national healthexamination surveys, Each survey involved collecting data by direct physicalexamination, the taking of a medical history, and laboratory and clinical testsand measurements. Questionnaires and examination components have been designedto obtain and support analyses of data on certain targeted conditions such asdiabetes, hypertension, and anemia. Beginning with the first National Health andNutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 1) a nutrition component was added toobtain information on nutritional status and dietary practices. The numbers ofHispanics in these samples were, however, insufficient to enable adequateestimation of their health conditions. From 1982 through 1984 a Hispanic Healthand Nutrition Examination Survey (H HAN ES) was conducted to obtain data onthe health and nutritional status of three Hispanic groups: Mexican Americansfrom Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California; Cuban Americansfrom Dade County, Florida; and Puerto Ricans from the New York City area,including parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.

The general structure of the HHANES sample design was similar to that of theprevious National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. All of these studieshave used comp[e;<, multistage, stratified, clustered samples of defined populations.The major difference between HHANES and the previous surveys is that HHANESwas a survey of three special subgroups of the population in selected areas of theUnited States rather than a national probability sample. A detailed presentationof the design specifications is found in Chapter 5 of “Plan and Operation of theHispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1982-84” (Ref. No. 1).

Data collection began with a household interview. Several questionnaires wereadministered:

o A Household Screener Questionnaire (HSQ), administered at eachselecteld address, for determining household eligibility and forselecting sample persons.

o A Famlll Questionnaire (FQ), administered once for each familycontaining sample persons, which included sections on familyrelationships, basic demographic information for sample persons andhead of family, Medicare and health insurance coverage, participationin income assistance programs, and housing characteristics.

o An Adult Sample Person Questionnaire (ASPQ), for persons 12 through74 years which, depending on age, included sections on health statusmeasures, health services utilization, smoking (20 through 74 years),meal program participation, and acculturation. Information on theuse of medicines and vitamins in the past two weeks was also obtained.

o A Child Sample Person Questionnaire (CSPQ), for sample persons 6months through 11 years which included sections on a number of healthstatus Issues, health care utilization, infant feeding practices,participation in meal programs, school attendance, and language use.Information on the use of medicines and vitamins in the past twoweeks was also obtained.

At the Mobile Examination Center two questionnaires were administered and anexamination performed:

o An Adult Sample Person Supplement (ASPS), for sample persons 12through 74 years, which included sections on alcohol consumption,

drug abuse, depression, smoking (12 through 19 years), pesticideexposure, and reproductive history.

o A Dietary Questionnaire (D Q), for persons 6 months through 74 years,by which trained dietary interviewers collected information about“usual” consumption habits and dietary practices, and recorded foodsconsumed 24-hours prior to midnight of the interview.

o An examination which included a variety of tests and procedures.Age at interview and other factors determined which procedureswere administered to which examine es. A dentist performed a dentalexamination and a vision test. Technicians took blood and urinespecimens and administered a glucose tolerance test, X-rays,

electrocardiograms, and ultrasonographs of the gallbladder.Technicians also performed hearing tests and took a variety of bodymeasurements. A physician performed a medical examination focusingespecially on the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, andmusculoskeletal systems. The physician’s impression of overall health,nutritional and weight status, and health care needs were also recorded,,Some blood and urine specimen analyses were performed by techniciansin the examination center; others were conducted under contract atvarious laboratories.

Because the HHANES sample is not a simple random one, it is necessary toincorporate sample weights for proper analysis of the data. These sampleweights are a composite of individual selection probabilities, adjustments fornoncoverage and nonresponse, and posts gratification adjustments. The HHANESsample weights, which are necessary for the calculation of point estimates, arelocated on all data tapes in positions 184-213. Because of the complex sampledesign and the ratio adjustments used to produce the sample weights, commonlyused methods of point and variance estimation and hypothesis testing which assumesimple random sampling may give misleading results. In order to provide userswith the capability of estimating the complex sample variances in the HHANESdata, Strata and Pseudo Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) codes have been providedon all data tapes in positions 214-217. These codes and the sample weights arenecessary for the calculation of variances.

There are computer programs available designed for variance estimation forcomplex sample designs. The balanced repeated replication approach (Ref. No. 2)is used in &R EPERR and a linearization approach is used in &PSALMS to calculatevariance -covariance matrixes. Both routines are available within the OSIRIS IVlibrary (Ref. No, 3). SURREGR (Ref. No. 4) and SUPERCARP (Ref, No. 5) areprograms that calculate variance -covariance matrixes using a linearizationapproach (Ref. No, 6) (Taylor series expansion). Another program, SESUDAAN(Ref. No. 7) calculates standard errors, variances, and design effects. (Note:This version of SESUDAAN should not be used to obtain variances for total s.)SURREGR and SESUDAAN are special procedures which run data under the SASsystem (Ref. No, 8).

3

Even though the total number of examined persons in this survey is quite large,subclass analyses can lead to estimates that are unstable, particularly estimatesof variances. Consequently, analyses of subclasses require that the user payparticular attention to the number of sample persons in the subclass and thenumber of PSU’S that contain at least one sample person in the subclass. Smallsample sizes, or a small number of PSU’S used in the variance calculations, mayproduce unstable estimates of the variances.

A more complete discussion of these issues and possible analytic strategies forexamining various hypotheses is presented in Chapter 11 of “Plan and operationof the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1982-84” (Ref. No. I)and in an earlier NCHS methodology (Series 2) publication (Ref. No. 9).

Some users, however, may not have access to the computer programs forestimating complex sample variances or may want to do their preliminaryanalyses without using them. In addition, variance estimates calculated fromHHANES data through use of the programs described previously are likely to beunstable because there were so few sample areas for each portion of HHANES.This instability is not due to there being too few people in the sample but maybe due to the fact that the sample was selected from relatively few areas.Therefore, the following discussion is designed to provide an alternativeapproach to deal with the unavailability of software and the small number ofPsu’s. The approach is based on using average design effects (Ref. No. 10).

The design effect, defined as the ratio of the variance of a statistic from acomplex sample to the variance of the same statistic from a simple randomsample of the same size, that is,

COMPLEX SAMPLE VARIANCEDESIGN EFFECT (DEFF) s

SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLE VARIANCE

is often used to show the impact of the complex sample design on variances. Ifthe design effect IS near 1, the complex sample design has little effect on thevariances and the user could consider assuming simple random sampling for theanalysis.

Some illustrative design effects for HHANES data on this tape are given in thefollowing tables. The design effects in the tables are the average for the agegroups usually presented in NCHS Series 11 publications. If the average designeffect for a subgroup was less than 1.0 (implying an improvement over simplerandom sampling), it was coded as 1.0.

The following guidelines were used in the calculation of the average designeffects:

1. Exclude all persons of non-Hispanic origin,2. Exclude all estimates for large age ranges, such as all ages combined

or ‘all adults’, and3. Exclude all estimates where the proportion of the subpopulation with

the specific characteristic or condition was zero percent or onehundred percent.

Design effects tend to be larger when age groups are combined, just as they arewhen the sexes are combined, as shown in the tables. The data in the tables givethe user an idea of the range in design effects for selected response variablesfrom this data tape. If a response variable is not one shown in the tables takethe range into account; it is possible that a user could have one of the higher,rather than one of the lower, design effects.

For some variables on this tape, the number of sample persons with a positiveresponse may be too small to calculate reliable age-sex specific populationestimates, variances of these estimates, and average design effects.

6

Suppose, for example, that of the 437 Mexican-Americans males ages 25-34years, 94 percent have ever had 12 drinks of any alcoholic beverage in theirentire life. Suppose, also, that the average age they started drinking was 17.

Assuming simple random sampling, the variance f~r the percent is calculated byconverting the percent to a proportion and using the standard formula for thevariance of a proportion,

Pcl~._

n

This variance (V) multiplied by the design effect (DEFF) provides an estimate ofthe variance from a complex sample of the same sample size (n). In the exampleabove,

(.94) (.06)v=

437

❑.00013 = variance

Then, multiplying by the design effect,

❑ (00013) (1.3)

for a simple random sample

❑ .00017 ❑ estimated variance for the complex sample

In a similar way, the complex sample variance of the mean age when theystarted drinking is determined by multiplying the simple random sample varianceof the mean by the appropriate design effect -- in this example, 1.4.

The user can then proceed with estimating confidence intervals and testinghypotheses in the usual manner.

The user should recognize that this approach does not incorporate the variancecovariance matrix. In most cases, this leads to a slight overestimate of thevariance because the covariance terms, which are subtracted in the variance of aratio, in general are positive. Thus, in a borderline case, the null hypothesiswould be less likely to be rejected (Ref. No. 11).

SECTION B. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING PROCEDURES

Data presented in Sections E through H and the family relationships data inSection J were collected on the Household Screener and Family Questionnaires.Data presented in Section K were collected on the Adult Sample Person SupplementQuestionnaire which was administered in the medical examination center. Completedinterview schedules were reviewed in the Survey’s field offices and again at thedata processing center of NCHS by clerical editors. The editors checked theforms for completeness, clarity, and compliance with skip patterns, and theycoded items such as industry and occupation. At the data processing center thequestionnaires were keyed and verified on key-to-disk data entry equipmentunder the control of programs that checked for valid codes and ranges, compliancewith skip patterns, and consistency. After being keyed, data were reedited byanalysts for reasonableness and consistency and for compliance with instructionsfor sampling and questionnaire administration.

Most interview data were collected in the households of sample persons. Becauseof the sensitive nature of the subject matter, some interview data, includingalcohol and drug use, were collected in the mobile examination center. Additionaldata on alcohol consumption were collected as part of the dietary interview alsoconducted in the mobile examination center. Data on the number of times beer,wine, or liquor was consumed during the past three months are available on thePublic Use Tape No. 6525, “Dietary Practices, Food Frequency and Total NutrientIntakes. ”

The general tape description format is Tape Position X Item X Counts. The item(field) may be a tape descriptor (e.g. Version Number), a sample person descriptor(e.g. Age at Interview). or a question (e.g. Is sample person covered by Medicare?).Where appropriate, data entries are presented by codes. Frequency counts aregiven for each code. The counts are. included to help the user in planning analysesand in verifying that programs account for all data. The data source is givenalso (e. g., from Family Questionnaire). In some cases, a note is referenced. Thenotes contain explanations of the item (e.g. how Poverty Index is calculated).

The questionnaire data have undergone many quality control and editing procedures.The responses of sample persons to some questions may appear extreme or illogical.Self-reported data, especially, are subject to a number of sources of variability,including recall and other reporting errors. In the data clean-up process, responsesthat varied considerably from expected were verified through direct review ofthe collection form or a copy of it. Such responses may not represent fact, butthey are included as recorded in the field. The user must determine if theseresponses should be included in analyses.

Responses to “other” and “specify” were recoded to existing categories, if possible.For responses that could not be recoded, new code categories were created if theinformation was deemed analytically useful. Caution should be used in interpretingthe data from these new categories because there is no way of knowing whichother respondents would have selected one of the new categories if given theoption.

For the adult sample person questionnaires there are three codes for missinginformation: 7’s, 8’s, and blanks. In a few questions, 7’s were used when thequestion was not applicable. A code “8”, which is labeled as “blank but applicable”,is used to indicate that a sample person should have a data value for a particularitem but for varying reasons that value is unavailable. Blanks were used to followskip patterns, i.e., when a question was not supposed to be asked or was notapplicable. The “don’t know” codes (9, 99, 999) were used only when given as aprinted response on the original questionnaire.

Copies of the questionnaires, both in English and Spanish, can be found in theplan and operation report for HHANES (Ref. No. 1). Detailed information oninterviewing procedures is contained in the household interviewer’s manual(Ref. No. 12) and the mobile examination center interviewer’s manual(Ref. No. 13).

SECTION L. NOTES

1. Family Questionnaire Missinq

A Family Questionnaire was to be completed for each eligible family in ahousehold with sample persons. However, a few Family Questionnaires aremissing. Data records for sample persons in families with missing questionnairesare flagged with a code ❑ 1, and all family data are blank. Data records forsample persons in families with a Family Questionnaire are flagged with acode ❑ 2.

During the Mexican-American portion of the HHANES survey, a FamilyQuestionnaire continuation booklet containing sample person information waslost for one sample person. Therefore, the sociodemographic data for thissample person are missing. The reference person, family composition, income,residence, and household data for this person were obtained from another personin the household.

2. Examination Status

Not all sample persons consented to come to a Mobile Examination Center toparticipate in the examination phase of the survey, In certain rare instances(less than 0.1%), sample persons who came to the Mobile Examination Centersdid not participate in sufficient components of the examination to be consideredas “examined. ” This data field contains code = 1 for those persons whoparticipated fully in the examination phase, and code = 2 for those who did notcome to the examination center or who did not satisfactorily complete theexamination.

3. Family Number

In HHANES, all household members who were related by blood, marriage, oradoption were considered to be one “family.” All sample persons in the samefamily unit have the same computer-generated family unit code.

4. Head of Family

Relationship of Sample Person to Head of Famil Y (Pos. 44-45)Each family containing sample persons has a designated “head of family, ”and the relationship of each sample person to the head of his or her familyis coded in tape positions 44-45. The first three categories of this variabledescribe the “head” of three different kinds of families.

o Code ’01’ identifies sample persons who lived alone (i. e., “head” ofone-person families, no unrelated individuals living in the household).

o Code ’02’ identifies sample persons who lived only with unrelatedpersons.

o Code ’03’ identifies sample persons who were “heads” of familiescontaining at least one other person (whether or not the householdincluded additional families unrelated to the sample person).

45

Sociodemoqraphic Data (Pos. 100-131)This data tape includes some sociodemographic data about the head of eachsample person’s family (Section F). Because there can only be one “head” perfamily, the data in this section (positions 100-131) are the same for all samplepersons in the same family (i.e., with the same family number codes in positions39-43). If the sample person is the head of his or her family, the data inpositions 100-131 are the same as in the corresponding positions in Section E.

5. Observed Race

“Race” was observed by the interviewer for all sample persons actually seen.Rules for classification of observed race were consistent with those used inthe NHANES II and the National Health Interview Survey at that time. Thecategories were coded as follows:

White Includes Spanish origin persons unless they are definitely Black,Indian or other nonwhite.

Black Black or Negro.Other Race other than White or Black, including Japanese, Chinese,

American Indian, Korean, Eskimo.

6. National Oriqin or Ancestry

The value for national origin or ancestry is based on Item 2C in the HouseholdScreener Questionnaire and was reported by the household respondent for allhousehold members. In the Mexican-American portion of the survey, if “otherLatin-American or other Spanish” (code 9) or “Other” (code O) was recorded andthe specified origin was “Spanish-American” or “Spanish (Spain)”, a code of 10 Or11, respectively, was assigned. In all three portions of the survey, if more thanone category was reported, the first appropriate “Hispanic” code, if any, wasassigned (codes 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, or 11 in the Mexican-American portion; codes 6 or7 in the Cuban-American portion; codes 4 or 5 in the Puerto Rican portion). Ifnone of these codes was recorded, the first category entered was coded.

8. National oriqin recode

In the HHANES, if any household member was identified as ‘rHispanic” (asdefined below), all household members, regardless of origin, were eligible to beselected as sample persons. The national origin recode specifies whether asample person is considered to be “Hispanic” or “not Hispanic” for purposes ofanalysis. “Hispanic” is defined as:

Mexican-American, residing in selected counties of Texas, Colorado,New Mexico, Arizona, and California;

Cuban-American, residing in Dade County (Miami), Florida; orPuerto Rican, residing in the New York City area, including parts of

New Jersey and Connecticut.

48

The recode was assigned as follows:

A.

B.

c.

Southwest portion

1) If the original national origin or ancestry code on the Household ScreenerQuestionnaire was 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, or 11, then National oriqin recode = 1;

2) If national origin or ancestry was 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, or O but the personspecified Mexican/M exicano, Chicano, or Mexican-American self-identification on the Adult Sample Person Questionnaire (questionM1O), or the person was the biological child of a household memberwith Recode equal to 1 (as determined by questions A-l/A-l 1 on theFamily Questionnaire), then National origin recode = 1;

3) In all other cases, National oriqin recode ❑ 2.

Dade County, Florida ~ortion

1) If the original national origin or ancestry code was 6 or 7, thenNational oriqin recode ❑ 1;

2) In all other cases, National origin recode = 2;

New York Citv area portion

1) If the original national origin or ancestry code was 4 or 5, thenNational oriain recode = 1;

2) If national origin or ancestry was 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, or O but the personspecified Boricuan or Puerto Rican self-identification on the AdultSample Person Questionnaire (question M1O), or the person was thebiological child of a household member with Recode equal to 1 (asdetermined by questions A-l/A-l 1 on the Family Questionnaire), thenNational oriqin recode = 1;

3) In all other cases, National oriqin recode = 2;

The national origin recode may be used in analysis in one of two ways:

a. Selecting on Recode = 1 will restrict analysis to “Hispanics” only, Inthis case, in the Southwest portion of the ‘survey, the weightedestimates by age and sex will approximately equal U.S. Bureau ofCensus population estimates of the number of Mexican Americans anda small proportion of other Hispanics assumed to be Hispano in thefive Southwest States (Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, andTexas) at the midpoint of the Mexican-American portion of HHANES -

March 1983. The weighted estimates of Cuban Americans representsan independent estimate of the number of Cuban Americans in DadeCounty at the midpoint, February 1984, The weighted estimates ofPuerto Ricans represents an independent estimate of the number ofPuerto Ricans in the sample counties in New York, New Jersey, andConnecticut at the midpoint of the Puerto Rican portion - September1984.

49

b. Using Recode greater than O, that is, all sample persons, will include“Hispanic” and “not Hispanic” persons and the Southwest weightedestimates by age and sex will overestimate the U.S. Bureau of theCensus population estimates of Mexican Americans and other Hispanicsby about 4.5 percent. In Dade County, using recode greater than O willincrease the weighted estimates by about 5.3 percent over that forCuban Americans only, using recode greater than O for the New Yorkarea will increase the weighted estimates by about 9.2 percent overthat for Puerto Ricans only.

9. Industry and Occupation Code

Family Questionnaire questions B-12 through B-15 (see page 117 or 139 of Ref.No. 1 in Section C) identified sample persons 17 years old or older who were inthe labor force working for pay at a job or business or who worked without pay ina family business or farm operated by a related member of the household withoutreceiving wages or salary for work performed.

Questions B-17 through B-22 provided a full description of sample persons’ currentor most recent job or business. The detail asked for in these questions wasnecessary to properly and accurately code each occupation and industry.Interviewers were trained to define a job as a definite arrangement for regularwork for pay every week or every month. This included arrangements for eitherregular part-time or regular full-time work. If a sample person was absent fromhis or her regular job, worked at more than one job, was on layoff from a job orwas looking for work during the two week reference period, interviewers weretrained to use the following criteria to determine the job described:

a. If a sample person worked at more than one job during the two weekreference period or operated a farm or business and also worked forsomeone else, the job at which he or she worked the most hours wasdescribed. If the sample person worked the same number of hours atall jobs, the job at which he or she had been employed the longest wasentered. If the sample person was employed at all jobs the same lengthof time, the job the sample person considered the main job was entered.

b. If a sample person was absent from his or her regular job all of the twoweek reference period, but worked temporarily at another job, the jobat which the sample person actually worked was described, not the jobfrom which he or she was absent.

c. If a sample person had a job but did not work at all during the twoweek reference period, the job he or she held was described.

d, If a sample person was on layoff during the two week reference period,the job from which he or she was laid off, regardless of whether afull-time or part-time job, was described.

e. If a sample person was looking for work or waiting to begin a new jobwithin 30 days of the interview, the last full-time civilian job whichlasted two consecutive weeks or more was described.

The 1980 census of population Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupationswas used in the coding of both industry and occupation.

10, Health Insurance

a. In the Health Insurance section of the Family Questionnaire, up tothree separate health insurance plans could be reported for a family.Each sample person could have been covered by any combination ofthe three, or by none at all, In order to simplify the health insurancecoverage data, the information on all reported plans was combined toa single variable for each sample person, i.e., whether or not theperson is covered by any plan (position 74), For all persons covered byat least one plan, information on the type of coverage is then indicated:position 75 specifies whether any of the sample person’s plans payshospital expenses and position 76 specifies whether any of the sampleperson’s plans pays doctor’s or surgeon’s bills.

b. For all sample persons who were not covered by Medicare or any healthinsurance plan, the reasons for not being covered were ascertained.Positions 77-78 contain the main or only reason reported. For personswith one or more additional reasons, the first (lowest) code entered onthe questionnaire was coded in positions 79-80,

11. Per Ca13ita Income

Per capita income was computed by dividing the total combined family incomeby the number of people in the family.

12. Poverty Index

The poverty index is a ratio of two components. The numerator is the midpointof the income bracket reported for each family in the Family Questionnaire(E-1 1). Respondents were asked to report total combined family income duringthe 12 months preceding the interview. The denominator is a poverty thresholdwhich varied with the number of persons in the family, the adult/childcomposition of the family, the age of the reference person, and the month andthe year in which the family was interviewed.

(Note 12 continues on next page)

51

Poverty thresholds published in Bureau of the Census reports* are based oncalendar years and were adjusted to reflect differences caused by inflationbetween calendar years and 12 month income reference periods to whichquestion E-1 1 referred. Average Consumer Price Indexes for all Urbanconsumers (CPI-U) for the calendar year for which the poverty thresholds werepublished (see table below) and for the 12 months representing the incomereference period for the respondent were calculated. The percentage differencebetween these two numbers represents the inflation between these two periodsand was applied to the poverty threshold appropriate for the family (based onthe characteristics listed above). For example, for a family interviewed inNovember, 1983, the 1982 poverty threshold was updated to reflect inflation bymultiplying by the percent change in the average CPI-U for the 12 monthreference period, which would have been November, 1982 through C)ctober, 1983,over the calendar year January through December, 1982, in this example. Tocompute poverty indexes, the midpoint of the total combined family incomebracket was divided by the updated poverty threshold.

Members of families with incomes equal to or greater than poverty thresholdshave poverty indexes equal to or greater than 1.0 and can be described as “at orabove poverty”; those with incomes less than the poverty threshold have indexesless than 1.0 and can be described as “below poverty”.

Poverty thresholds used were computed on a national basis only. No attemptwas made to adjust these thresholds for regional, State, or other variations in thecost of living. None of the noncash public welfare benefits such as food stampbonuses were included in the income of the low income families receiving thesebenefits.

13. Size of Place and SMSA

Codes for size of place and SMSA were obtained from Bureau of Census summarytape files (.5iTFl B).

A place is a concentration of population. Most places are incorporated as cities,towns, villages or boroughs, but others are defined by the Bureau of the Censusaround definite residential nuclei with dense, city-type street patterns, with,ideally, at least 1,000 persons per square mile. The boundaries of Census definedplaces may not coincide with civil divisions.

A Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) is a large population nucleusand nearby communities which have a high degree of economic and social integrationwith that nucleus. Generally, an SMSA includes one or more central cities, allurbanized areas around the city or cities, and the remainder of the county orcounties in which the urbanized areas are located. SMSAS are designated by theOffice of Management and Budget.

The same place size and SMSA codes were assigned to all persons in the samesegment (for the definition of segments see Ref. No. 1 in Section C). In a fewcases segments were divided by place boundaries. In these cases codes wereassigned after inspecting segment maps. If the segment was predominantly inone place, then the place code for that place was used. If the segment wasapproximately evenly divided, the code for the larger place was used,

14, Home Heatinq

Questions E-3 through E-6, pertaining to the main fuel and equipment used forheating the home, appear to have codes which are inconsistent. It has beenverified that these are the codes that were recorded on the original document;that is, codes that appear inconsistent were not incorrectly keyed.

15. Blank Records

In this field a ‘2’ indicates a respondent for whom no alcohol data were obtained.

16. Other S~ecify, Reason for Not Drinking

D-4, D-50, D-73: The “other reason -- specify” responses to reason for notdrinking were recoded to existing categories whenever possible. A number ofrespondents stated that they were either too young or that their parents forbadeit, ( recoded as “9”) or that they wanted to avoid the adverse consequences ofdrinking (recoded as “1O”). The remaining “other--specify” responses were toodiverse to be recoded to new categories. They were coded as ‘11.’

17. Apparently Illoqical or Extreme Values

The questionnaire data have undergone many quality control and editing procedures.The responses of sample persons to some questions may appear extreme or illogical.Self-reported data, especially, are subject to a number of sources of variability,including recall and other reporting errors. In the data clean-up process,responses that varied considerably from expected were verified through directreview of the collection form or a copy of it. Such responses may not representfact, but they are included as recorded in the field. The user must determine ifthese responses should be included in analyses.

18. Hand Calendar Card for Defininq Reference Period

Questions D-6 and D-8 through D-31 asked about events occurring during afour-week reference period. This four-week period referred to the four weeksending on the Sunday before the interview. Each interviewer had two calendars,one for the interviewer and one for the respondent, that had the four-weekreference period outlined in red. New calendars were distributed to interviewerseach week.

19. Obiective Drinker TVpe

Questions D-9 through D-20 and D-32 through D-43 asked about the quantity,frequency and volume of alcohol consumed by beverage type over a four-weekreference period. An objective classification of drinker type based upon themean dally amount of absolute alcohol consumed was constructed from theresponses to these questions. For each beverage type, the product of the numberof days on which the respondent drank, drinks per day, and ounces in a typicaldrink yielded the total ounces of that beverage consumed over the 28-day period.Multiplying this total by the appropriate conversion factor (i. e., beer ❑ 0.04,wine = 0,15 and spirits = 0.45), dividing by 28, and summing over all threebeverage types produced the mean daily amount of absolute alcohol (ethanol)consumed over the reference period. From this variable, four categories werederived (see references below):

Abstainer = person who drinks less than 0.01 ounces of ethanol per day;Light = person who drinks 0.01 through 0.21 ounces of ethanol per day;Moderate ❑ person who drinks 0.22 through 0.99 ounces of ethanol per day;Heavier = person who drinks 1.00 or more ounces of ethanol per day.

20. Self-classification of Drinker Types

Caution should be used when interpreting results from occasional drinkers forthis question, There were some occasional drinker respondents who, according toNIAAA’s objective drinker classification (see first reference in Note 19), were“heavier” drinkers during the period when they drank but who classifiedthemselves as abstainers “now”.

APPENDIX

SURVEY INTERVIEWER’S INSTRUCTIONS

Extracted directly from Instruction Manual Part 15q, Mobile Examination CenterInterviewer’s Manual for the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survevc1982-84. (Ref. No. 13).

The alcohol consumption section provides information on the respondent’salcoholic beverage consumption pattern. Questions D2 through D7 distinguishamong current drinkers, current abstainers who consumed alcoholic beverages inthe past and current abstainers who have never had a pattern of alcoholconsumption. Questions D8 through D31, administered to current drinkers only,ask about consumption of specific types of alcoholic beverages. Questions D32through D50 ask the same questions of those who currently abstain but did notdrink within the past year. Questions D51 through D63 are asked of both currentdrinkers and current abstainers who did drink within the past year. Finally,Questions D64 through D73 are administered to current abstainers whose lastdrink occurred one or more years before the interview.

In order to ask some of the questions in the alcohol consumption section youwill be required to refer back to answers given to earlier questions in thesection. For example, D21 Check Item instructs you to refer back to QuestionsD9, D13, and D17 for the number of days during a four-week reference periodthe respondent drank beer, wine, and/or liquor. If the respondent drank only onebeverage type, you ask Question 24. If the respondent drank every day duringthe four-week reference period, you also ask D24. For any other combination(i.e., the SP drank more than one beverage type and/or less often than everyday), you ask Question D22. Sometimes you may have to refer back to severalquestions and compare the answers. While this process may seem awkward andslow at first, with practice it will go much more smoothly. If a respondentexpresses impatience, explain that the process will ensure that you do not askhim/her any unnecessary questions and will save time in the end.

Many questions in this section deal with respondents’ alcohol consumptionduring a four-week reference period. For respondents who currently drink, thisreference period is the four-week period ending on the Sunday before theinterview. For persons who currently abstain from drinking but have drank in thepast, the reference period is four weeks prior to the date they had their lastdrink.

YOU wII have provided the respondent with a calendar at the start of theinterview, The four-week reference period ending the Sunday before theinterview will be outlined in red. Instruct the respondent to use the calendar asa reference whenever a question refers to that reference period or another timeperiod. Make sure the respondent is looking at the correct time period by statingthe start[ng and ending dates of the period for the respondent.

Since the reference period will change each week, your supplies will includeenough calendars for the duration of the stand. It is your responsibility to makecertain that you obtain the correct calendar each week.

Dl, I would like to talk to you about drinkingalcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beveragesinclude liquor such as whiskey, rum, gin,vodka or tequila, or beer, or wine.

D2. In your entire life have you 1(}Y 20 N(D4)had at least 12 drinks of anykind of alcoholic beverage?

D1 is a statement that introduces this section of the questionnaire.

In Question D2, we are interested in whether the respondent has had 12or more drinks of alcoholic beverages in his/her entire lifetime. Asexplained in Dl, the term “alcoholic beverages” includes liquor, beer or wine.

D3. In any one year have you had at 10 Y(D5) 2(}Nleast 12 drinks of any kind ofalcoholic beverage?

Note the change in time frame between Questions D2 and D3. D2 refers to“your entire lifetime” while D3 refers to “any one year”.

This question is asked only of those who have not had at least 12 drinksof alcoholic beverage in their entire life or have not had at least 12 drinksin any one year.

If the respondent gives you more than one reason, probe to determinewhich reason is the most important one.

D5. Not counting small tastes, how oldwere you when you started drinking years oldalcoholic beverages? number

In some families, children are allowed small sips of wine or otheralcoholic beverages occasionally even when they are quite young. Thisquestion refers to drinking alcoholic beverages other than these “smalltaste s.” If the respondent cannot recall his/her exact age, ask for a “bestestimate. ”

.

HAND CALENDAR CARD.

D6. Did you have a drink during 10 Y(D8) 20Nthe period outlined in red?

Questions D6 and D8 through D31 ask about events occurring during thefour-week reference period. This four-week period refers to the four weeksending on the Sunday before the interview.

You will have two calendars, one for yourself and one for the respondent,that have the four-week reference period outlined in red. This will make iteasier for the respondent to focus on the time period we are asking about.

If the respondent reports having a drink during the reference period,skip to Question D8. [f not, proceed to Question D7.

D7. When was your last drink? I IENTER DATE AND CHECK BOX Month Day Year

1 ( ) before 4-week referenceperiod, less than 1 year fromend of reference period (D32)

2 ( ) 1 or more years ago fromend of reference period (D64)

Encourage the respondent to use the calendar as an aid in recallingthe date of his/her last drink. Record the date using two digits for themonth, two for the day, and two for the year. Check the appropriate box inQuestion D8, using your calendar to determine in which response category thedate falls. If the date was before the end point of the reference period(i.e., the Sunday prior to the date of the interview) but less than one yearfrom the end of the reference period, check the top response category. If thedate was one year or more before the end point of the reference period, codethe lower response box.

Note the skip pattern. If the first response category is coded, skip toQuestion D32. [f the second box is coded, proceed to Question D64,

D8. During that period, when I Idid you last have a drink? Month Day Year

Question D8 is asked of respondents who reported in D6 having had adrink during the four-week reference period. Record the date using two digitsfor the month, two for the day and two for the year.

Questions D9 throuqh D20

Questions D9 through D20 ask separately about consumption ofparticular kinds of alcohol -- beer, wine, and liquor. They are asked ofrespondents who reported in Question D6 and D8 having had a drink during thefour week reference period, Instruct respondents to refer to the calendarwhen answering these questions and encourage them to take their time andanswer carefully.

D9, Let’s talk about the 4 weeksoutlined in red,

00 ( ) none or never (D13)During that 4-week period,on how many days did you daysdrink any beer? number

This question is concerned with beer consumption during the four weeksending on the Sunday before the interview.

Note, the question is concerned with the number of separate days therespondent drank beer, If the respondent reports he/she drank no beer duringthis four-week period, check “none” and skip to Question D13.

D1O. During that 4-week period, onthe day(s) when you drank beerabout how many beers did youdrink a day?

In this question, the interviewer must choose“days” depending on the response to Question D9,

beersnumber

between the word “day” or

Note, this question is concerned with the typical number of beersconsumed on a day when the respondent drank beer. We are concerned here withthe respondent’s usual drinking pattern. For example, if the respondentusually had two drinks each day except for one Saturday night when he/she had10 drinks, then the correct response to this question would be two drinkssince this is the respondent’s usual pattern, Remember, we are not lookingfor an average number of drinks, that is, we do not want the respondent tocount up all the drinks he/she had for four weeks and divide by 28 days.

D1l. During those four weeks beerswhat was the total number numberof beers you drank?

This question is concerned with the total number of beers the respondentdrank over the entire four-week period. You may have to help the respondentadd up the total number of drinks,

D12. How many ounces were in a ouncestypical can or bottle or numberglass that you drank duringthat period.

Note, we are interested in the number of ounces in the container fromwhich the respondent usually drank beer during the four-week period, If therespondent does not know the exact amount, ask him or her to estimate theamount as best helshe can. You may use the following guidelines to help therespondent calculate the number of ounces:

Regular beer can = 12 oz.Small beer can, sometimes called a “pony” = 7 oz.Pint of beer = 16 oz.Quart of beer = 32 oz.

D13. During that 4-week period, 00 ( ) none or never (D17)on how many days did you daysdrink any wine? number

D14, During that 4-week period,on the day(s) when you glassesdrank wine, about how many numberglasses of wine did you drink(a day)?

D15. During those four weeks,what was the total number glassesof glasses of wine that numberyou drank?

D16. How many ounces were ina typical glass that you ouncesdrank during that period? number

Questions D13 through D16 ask about wine consumption. They are exactlylike Questions D9 through D12 on beer consumption except that they refer toglasses of wine. If the response given is in “bottles” of wine, probe toconvert it to a “glasses” response,

In Question D16, you may use the following guidelines to help therespondent calculate the number of ounces: a “typical” glass of wine contains4 ounces.

Again note, we are concerned with the four-week period ending on theSunday before the interview and we are looking for the usual pattern ofdrinking. (See specifications for D9-D12.)

60

D17. During that 4-week period, on how 00 ( ) none or never (D21)many days did you drink any liquorsuch as whiskey, rum, gin, daysvodka or tequila. number

D18. During that 4-week period, onthe day(s) when you drank liquor, drinkssuch as whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, numberor tequila, about how many drinksdid you have a day?

D19, During those four weeks, what was drinksthe total number of drinks of liquor numberyou drank?

Questions D17 through D20 ask the same series of questions that were askedin D9 through D12 on beer and D13 through D16 on wine; however, the focus inthese questions is on liquor consumption.

Note that examples of liquor “such as whiskey, rum, gin, vodka ortequila” are given in Questions D17 and D18 to help the respondent understandwhat is included in the term.

Again, we are concerned with the same four-week period as in Questions D9through D16. And, as before, “typical” refers to the respondent’s usualpattern of drinking. (See specifications for Questions D9 through D12,)

D20. How many ounces of liquor were ouncesin a typical glass that you numberdrank during that period?

A mixed drink purchased in a bar or restaurant usually contains one ounceof liquor (unless it is a “double”). A mixed drink prepared at home usuallycontains slightly more liquor, approximately l% ounces.

D21. CHECK ITEM: REFER TO 1 ( ) only one beverage type (D24)QUESTIONS D9, D13, AND 2 ( ) drank every day (D24)D17 AND MARK APPROPRIATE 3 ( ) other (D22)BOX(ES).

In D21 CHECK ITEM you must refer back to Questions D9, D13, and D17, thequestions on the number of days during the four-week period the respondentdrank liquor, wine, or beer.

If the respondent drank only one beverage type during this period, thatis, for example, heishe drank wine but not beer or liquor, skip to QuestionD24.

Also, if the respondent drank some type of alcoholic beverage every dayduring the four-week period, that is, “28” is entered in the answer blank ineither D9, D13, or D17, skip to Question D24.

6J

In all other cases, that is, the respondent consumed more than onebeverage type or drank less than every day in the four-week period, askQuestion D22.

D22. I have asked you about beer, wine, and liquorseparately, Now I want you to think aboutthem combined.

D23. During those 4 weeks 01 ( ) one day only (D29)outlined in red, on howmany days altogether did ORyou drink w kind ofalcoholic beverage, that daysis, beer, or wine, or liquor? number

Questions D22 and D23 ask these respondents to consider all the differentkinds of alcoholic beverages he/she drank during the four-week period and todetermine how many days he/she drank any kind of alcoholic beverage at all.

Note that since the respondent stated in D6 that he/she had at least one drinkduring this time period, the answer to Question D23 cannot be “O”, Instructthe respondent to use his/her calendar as a memory aid.

If the respondent says that he/she only drank one day during the 4 weeksin response to Question D23, check the box and skip to Question D29,

Questions D24 through D28

QuestIons D24 through D28 are concerned with the largest number ofalcoholic beverages the respondent drank during the four-week period. Again,“any kind of alcoholic beverage” refers to all types of alcoholic beveragesconsidered together.

You will note that Questions D25 through D28 switch back and forthbetween asking about numbers of days and numbers of drinks. You must read thequestions slowly and emphasize whether you are asking for days or drinks toensure that the respondent understands. Further, while each of thesequestions asks for new information, they tend to sound repetitive and therespondent may become confused and feel you are asking the same question overand over. Remember: (1) D25 asks for the number of days the respondent drankmore than the amount reported for any one beverage type, (2) D26 asks for thelargest number of drinks consumed on any of those days, (3) D27 asks thenumber of days the largest amount was consumed, and (4) D28 asks the number ofdrinks consumed on the one day that the largest amount was consumed. D-28 isasked only of those who answer “one day” to D-25.

D24. During those 4 weeks, did 1(}Y 2 ( ) N (D29)you have more than (Iarqestnumber in DIO, D14, or D18)drinks of w kind ofalcoholic beverage on asingle day?

62

To ask Question D24 you must refer back to Questions D1O, D14, and D18which ask about the number of drinks of beer, wine, or liquor the respondentconsumed in a typical day. In Question D24, which is concerned with whetherthe respondent ever had more drinks in one day than the daily amounts reportedfor each specific beverage, you must fill in the blank with the largest of thenumbers from D1O, D14, and D18. For example, if the respondent reported inQuestion DIO that he/she typically drank 2 beers, in Question D14 that he/shetypically consumed 3 glasses of wine, and in D18 that he/she usually consumed1 drink of liquor, Question D24 would read: “During these four weeks, did youhave more than 3 drinks of u kind of alcoholic beverage on a single day?”

D25. During those 4 weeks, on how 01 ( ) one dav only (D28)many-days did you have more than(Iarqest number in D1O, D14, or days~) drinks of any kind of numberalcoholic beverage, that is,beer, wine or liquor?

Question D25 asks the number of days the respondent consumed moredrinks than the largest amount reported in DIO, D14, or D18. If therespondent reports he/she drank more on one day only, check the box and skipto Question D28.

Encourage the respondent to use the calendar as a memory aid.

D26. What was the largest number drinksof drinks you had on any numberone of those days?

Question D26 asks the largest number of drinks the respondent consumedduring the entire four-week period on any one day. Remember that thisquestion is concerned with all types of alcoholic beverages consideredtogether,

D27. On how many days during days (D29)those 4 weeks did you have number(number in D26) drin”ks?

This question is concerned with the number of days the respondentconsumed the number of drinks reported in D26. Again, encourage therespondent to use the calendar.

After recording the answer to D27, skip to Question D29.

D28. How many drinks did you drinkshave on that day? number

This question is asked only of people who reported in D25 that theydrank more than was reported for any one beverage type on one day only. Againwe are interested in all beverage types combined.

.

.

D29. Was your drinking during those four 10 Y(D31)20N”weeks typical of your drinking overthe past 12 months?

This question asks the respondent to compare his/her drinking for thelast four weeks with his/her drinking pattern over the past 12 months.

As in previous questions, “typical” refers to the respondent’s usualpattern.

D30. Did you drink more or lessthan usual during those 1 ( ) ‘ore (D51)2 ( ) less4 weeks?

This question is concerned with whether the respondent drank more or lessduring the four-week period than he/she did during the rest of the year and isasked only of respondents who answer “No” to Question DZ9.

After recording the answer, skip to Question 1351.

D31. For how many years has this years (D51)been typical of your drinking? number

For those who reported in D29 that their current drinking was typical ofthe last 12 months, D31 asks for the total number of years this pattern hasbeen typical. If the respondent answers less than one year, record “O” on theline and recclrd the response verbatim in the space under the line.

After recording the answer, skip to Question D51.


Quest Ions D32 through D50 are asked of respondents who reported in D7that their last drink of an alcoholic beverage was before the four-weekreference period ending the previous Sunday but within the past twelve months,These respondents were not asked Questions D9 through D31 but rather wereskipped to Question D32.

D32. Let’s talk about the 4-week periodending the day you had your last 00 ( ) none or never (D36)drink. During those 4 weeks, on dayshow many days did you drink anybeer?

Questions D32 through D43 are similar to Questions D9 through D20, thatis, they ask about patterns of consumption for specific types of alcoholicbeverages -- beer, wine, and liquor. The only difference is that QuestionsD32-D43 refer to the four weeks before the respondent had his/her last drinkrather than four weeks ending on the Sunday before the interview.

Since the period being considered may have occurred up to one year ago,the respondent may have some difficulty remembering specific amounts andnumbers of days. Encourage respondents to take their time and to use thecalendar as a memory aid. If needed, use the suggestions in the section ofthis manual entitled Helpinq the Respondent Remember Events that Occurred inthe Past to help the respondent remember events which occurred some time ago.

Refer to the specifications for Questions D9 through D20 for detailedspecifications on Questions D32 through D43.

D44 CHECK ITEM is similar to D21 CHECK ITEM. You must refer to thenumber of days the respondent drank beer (D32), wine (D36), and liquor (D40).If only one beverage type was consumed, you skip to Question D47. If therespondent drank every day in the four-week period, also skip to Question D47.For all other respondents, proceed to Question D45.

D45. I have asked you about beer, wine, and liquorseparately. Now I want you to think aboutthem combined.

Questions D45 and D46, like Questions D22 and D23, ask respondents toconsider all the different kinds of beverages he/she drank during a four-weekperiod (in this question, the four weeks before his/her last drink) and todetermine how many days during that period he/she drank any kind of alcoholicbeverage. Again, encourage the respondent to use the calendar as a memoryaid.

The time frame again changes for Questions D54 through D63. Here, thetime frame encompasses the respondent’s entire drinking history starting withthe age he/she started drinking and ending with his/her last drink. For olderrespondents, this may cover many years. Encourage respondents to thinkcarefully in order to obtain an accurate response.

In Question D54, we are asking respondents whether or not there was evera period when they considered themselves to be a heavy drinker. Do not define“heavy” fctr the respondent. We are interested in what they consider to beheavy.

If respondent answers “No,” skip to Question D57.

Question D56 is concerned with the number of alcoholic drinks consumedin a typical week when the respondent considered himself/herself a heavydrinker. We are interested in the respondent’s usual drinking pattern. Forexample, if a respondent answers that he/she would normally drinkapproximately 30 drinks per week but that there were two weeks when he/sheconsumed more than 30 drinks, the answer to D56 would be 30 drinks.

Some respondents may answer in terms other than a number of drinks, “3six-packs of beer” or “2 quarts of whiskey, ” for example, Probe to get theanswer in terms of the number of drinks during a typical week.

D57, Was there ever a period in 10% 2 ( ) N (D60)your life when you consideredyourself to be a moderate drinker?

Questions D60 through D62 are, again, the same as Questions D54through D56 except that respondents are asked if they ever consideredthemselves to be light drinkers. Do not define the term “light” and emphasizethe time frame. (See specifications for D54 through D56).

D63. Do you now consider 1 ( ) abstaineryourself to be a light, 2 ( ) lightmoderate, or heavy drinker? 3 ( ) moderate

(El)

4 ( ) heavy

Note that the question does not include “abstainer” as a choice, althoughit is included as an answer category. This is because the respondent hasalready said he/she drinks at least 12 drinks in any one year. Somerespondents, however, may volunteer that currently they abstain from drinkingalcohol. If so, check the “abstainer” box.

Do not define “light, moderate, or heavy drinker” to the respondent; weare interested in whatever the respondent considers these terms to mean.
