The following information shows the total number of persons ages 6 months to 74 years sampled, interviewed, and examined in each of the three portions of the survey. Mexican Americans Residing in selected counties of Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California Surveyed from July 1982 through November 1983 9,894 persons sampled; 8,554 interviewed; 7,462 examined Cuban Americans Residing in Dade County (Miami), Florida Surveyed from January 1984 through April 1984 2,244 persons sampled; 1,766 interviewed; 1,357 examined Puerto Ricans Residing in the New York City area, including parts of New Jersey and Connecticut Surveyed from May 1984 through December 1984 3,786 persons sampled; 3,369 interviewed; 2,834 examined The data on the tape documented here are for all examined persons ages 20 years to 74 years.Caution Notice CAUTION BEFORE USING THIS DATA TAPE, PLEASE READ THIS PAGE * Read the accompanying description of the survey, "The Plan and Operation of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey", DHHS Publication No. (PHS) 85-1321 before conducting analyses of the data on this tape. * Two aspects of HHANES, especially, should be taken into account when conducting any analyses: the sample weights and the complex survey design. * Analyses should not be conducted on data combined from the three portions of the survey (Mexican-American, Cuban-American, Puerto Rican). * HHANES is a survey of Hispanic households and some of the sample persons included on this tape are not of Hispanic origin. A detailed description of the data codes dealing with national origin or ancestry appears in the NOTES section of this document. * Examine the range and frequency of values of a variable before conducting an analysis of data. The range may include unusual or unexpected values. The frequency counts may be useful to determine which 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 or by a proxy. * For some data items, reference is made to a note. The notes (in a separate section of this document) may be very important in data analyses. Attention to them is strongly urged. * For some data items, the number of sample persons with a positive response is very small. In these instances, it may not be possible to produce a reliable population estimate. Because the response rates to the glucose tolerance component were under 50 percent, attention to Section B regarding nonresponse bias is strongly urged. This Public Use Data Tape has been edited very carefully. Numerous consistency and other checks were also performed. Nevertheless, due especially to the large number of data items, some errors may have gone undetected. Please bring to the attention of NCHS any errors in the data tape or the documentation. Errata sheets will be sent to people who have purchased the data tapes and corrections will be made to subsequently released data tapes. In publications, please acknowledge NCHS as the original data source. The acknowledgement should include a disclaimer crediting the authors for analyses, interpretations, and conclusions; NCHS should be cited as being responsible for only the collection and processing of the data. In addition, NCHS requests that the acronym HHANES be placed in the abstracts of journal articles and other publications based on data from this survey in order to facilitate the retrieval of such materials through automated bibliographic searches. Please send reprints of journal articles and other publications that include data from this tape to NCHS.

Scientific and Technical Information Branch National Center for Health Statistics Center Building, Room 1-57 3700 East-West Highway Hyattsville, MD 20782 301-436-8500BACKGROUND Introduction The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) collects, analyzes, and disseminates data on the health status of Americans. The results of surveys, analyses, and studies are made known primarily through publications and the release of computer data tapes. This document contains details required to guide programmers, statistical analysts, and research scientists in the use of a Public Use Data Tape. From 1960 through 1980 NCHS conducted five population-based, national health examination surveys. Each survey involved collecting data by direct physical examination, the taking of a medical history, and laboratory and clinical tests and measurements. Questionnaires and examination components have been designed to obtain and support analyses of data on certain targeted conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and anemia. Beginning with the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) a nutrition component was added to obtain information on nutritional status and dietary practices. The numbers of Hispanics in these samples were, however, insufficient to enable adequate estimation of their health conditions. From 1982 through 1984 a Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) was conducted to obtain data on the health and nutritional status of three Hispanic groups: Mexican Americans from Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California; Cuban Americans from 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 the previous National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. All of these studies have used complex, multistage, stratified, clustered samples of defined populations. The major difference between HHANES and the previous surveys is that HHANES was a survey of three special subgroups of the population in selected areas of the United States rather than a national probability sample. A detailed presentation of the design specifications is found in Chapter 5 of "Plan and Operation of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1982-84" (Ref. No. 1). Data collection began with a household interview. Several questionnaires were administered: * A Household Screener Questionnaire (HSQ), administered at each selected address, for determining household eligibility and for selecting sample persons. * A Family Questionnaire (FQ), administered once for each family containing sample persons, which included sections on family relationships, basic demographic inforation for sample persons and head of family, Medicare and health insurance coverage, participation in income assistance programs, and housing characteristics. * An Adult Sample Person Questionnaire (ASPQ), for persons 12 through 74 years which, depending on age, included sections on health status measures, health services utilization, smoking (20 through 74 years), meal program participation, and acculturation. Information on the use of medicines and vitamins in the past two weeks was also obtained. * A Child Sample Person Questionnaire (CSPQ), for sample persons 6 months through 11 years, which included sections on a number of health status 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 two weeks was also obtained. At the Mobile Examination Center two questionnaires were administered and an examination performed: * An Adult Sample Person Supplement (ASPS), for sample persons 12 through 74 years, which included sections on alcohol consumption, drug abuse, depression, smoking (12 through 19 years), pesticide exposure, and reproductive history. * A Dietary Questionnaire (DQ), for persons 6 months through 74 years, by which trained dietary interviewers collected information about "usual" consumption habits and dietary practices, and recorded foods consumed 24 hours prior to midnight on the day before the interview. * An examination which included a variety of tests and procedures. Age at interview and other factors determined which procedures were administered to which examinees. A dentist performed a dental examination and a vision test. Technicians took blood and urine specimens and administered a glucose tolerance test, X-rays, electrocardiograms, and ultrasonographs of the gallbladder. Technicians also performed hearing tests and took a variety of body measurements. A physician performed a medical examination focusing especially on the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, and musculoskeletal 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 technicians in the examination center; others were conducted under contract at various laboratories. Because the HHANES sample is not a simple random one, it is necessary to incorporate sample weights for proper analysis of the data. These sample weights are a composite of individual selection probabilities, adjustments for noncoverage and nonresponse, and poststratification adjustments. The HHANES sample weights, which are necessary for the calculation of point estimates, are located on all data tapes in positions 184-213. Because of the complex sample design and the ratio adjustments used to produce the sample weights, commonly used methods of point and variance estimation and hypothesis testing which assume simple random sampling may give misleading results. In order to provide users with the capability of estimating the complex sample variances in the HHANES data, Strata and Pseudo Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) codes have been provided on all data tapes in positions 214-217. These codes and the sample weights are necessary for the calculation of variances. There are computer programs available designed for variance estimation for complex sample designs. The balanced repeated replication approach (Ref. No. 2) is used in &REPERR and a linearization approach is used in &PSALMS to calculate variance-covariance matrixes. Both routines are available within the OSIRIS IV library (Ref. No. 3). SURREGR (Ref. No. 4) and SUPERCARP (Ref. No. 5) are programs that calculate variance-covariance matrixes using a linearization approach (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 totals.) SURREGR and SESUDAAN are special procedures which run data under the SAS system (Ref. No. 8). Even though the total number of examined persons in this survey is quite large, subclass analyses can lead to estimates that are unstable, particularly estimates of variances. Consequently, analyses of subclasses require that the user pay particular attention to the number of sample persons in the subclass and the number of PSU's that contain at least one sample person in the subclass. Small sample sizes, or a small number of PSU's used in the variance calculations, may produce unstable estimates of the variances. A more complete discussion of these issues and possible analytic strategies for examining various hypotheses is presented in Chapter 11 of "Plan and Operation of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1982-84" (Ref. No. 1) and in an earlier NCHS methodology (Series 2) publication (Ref. No. 9). Some users, however, may not have access to the computer programs for estimating complex sample variances or may want to do their preliminary analyses without using them. In addition, variance estimates calculated from HHANES data through use of the programs described previously are likely to be unstable 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 may be due to the fact that the sample was selected from relatively few areas. Therefore, the following discussion is designed to provide an alternative approach to deal with the unavailability of software and the small number of PSU'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 a complex sample to the variance of the same statistic from a simple random sample of the same size, that is, COMPLEX SAMPLE VARIANCE DESIGN EFFECT (DEFF) = ----------------------------- SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLE VARIANCE is often used to show the impact of the complex sample design on variances. If the design effect is near 1, the complex sample design has little effect on the variances and the user could consider assuming simple random sampling for the analysis. Some illustrative design effects for HHANES data on this tape are given in the following tables. The design effects in the tables are the average for the age groups usually presented in NCHS Series 11 publications. If the average design effect for a subgroup was less than 1.0 (implying an improvement over simple random sampling), it was coded as 1.0. The following guidelines were used in the calculation of the average design effects: 1. Exclude all persons of non-Hispanic origin, 2. Exclude all estimates for large age ranges, such as all ages combined or 'all adults', and 3. Exclude all estimates where the proportion of the subpopulation with the specific characteristic or condition was zero percent or one hundred percent. Design effects tend to be larger when age groups are combined, just as they are when the sexes are combined, as shown in the tables. The data in the tables give the user an idea of the range in design effects for selected response variables from this data tape. If a response variable is not one shown in the tables, take the range into account; it is possible that a user could have one of the higher, rather than one of the lower, design effects. Suppose, for example, that of the 270 Mexican-American males ages 45-54 years, 4 percent reported that they had been told by a doctor that they have gallstones. Suppose, also, for example, that the average maximal length of their gallbladders was 66.2 millimeters. Assuming simple random sampling, the variance for the percent is calculated by converting the percent to a proportion and using the standard formula for the variance of a proportion, V = pq -- n This variance (V) multiplied by the design effect (DEFF) provides an estimate of the variance from a complex sample of the same sample size (n). In the example above, V = (.04) (.96) 270 = .00014 = variance for a simple random sample Then, multiplying by the design effect, = (.00014) (1.2) = .00017 = estimated variance for the complex sample In a similar way, the complex sample variance of the mean maximal length of the gallbladder is determined by multiplying the simple random sample variance of the mean by the appropriate design effect -- in this example, 1.2. The user can then proceed with estimating confidence intervals and testing hypotheses in the usual manner. The user should recognize that this approach does not incorporate the variance-covariance matrix. In most cases, this leads to a slight overestimate of the variance because the covariance terms, which are subtracted in the variance of a ratio, in general, are positive. Thus, in a borderline case, the null hypothesis would be less likely to be rejected (Ref. No. 11). Alternative or better approaches may exist or be developed. Users who want to suggest such approaches, or who want the latest information should contact the Scientific and Technical Information Branch (address given in the beginning of this documentation).Table 1 GALLBLADDER ULTRASOUND DATA Average Design Effects, by Sex, for Selected Variables -- Mexican-American Portion Mean or Tape Both Variable Proportion Positions Sexes Male Female Ever had gallstones p 402 1.0 1.2 1.2 Ever had surgery for gallstones p 404 1.0 1.1 1.3 Pain in abdomen p 423 1.1 1.2 1.0 Length of gallbladder x 492-494 1.3 1.2 1.0 Gallbladder exam conclusion p 549 1.1 1.4 1.0 Source: NCHS, HHANES, 1982-84, Tape Number 6504, Version 1.Table 2 Average Design Effects, by Sex, for Selected Variables -- Cuban-American Portion Mean or Tape Both Variable Proportion Positions Sexes Male Female Ever had gallstones p 402 1.0 1.1 1.0 Ever had surgery for gallstones p 404 1.0 1.0 1.0 Pain in abdomen p 423 1.0 1.0 1.2 Length of gallbladder x 492-494 1.0 1.0 1.0 Gallbladder exam conclusion p 549 1.0 1.0 1.0 Source: NCHS, HHANES, 1982-84, Tape Number 6504, Version 1.Table 3 Average Design Effects, by Sex, for Selected Variables Puerto Rican Portion Mean or Tape Both Variable Proportion Positions Sexes Male Female Ever had gallstones p 402 1.0 1.0 1.3 Ever had surgery for gallstones p 404 1.5 1.0 1.4 Pain in abdomen p 423 1.4 1.0 1.4 Length of gallbladder x 492-494 1.2 1.1 1.0 Gallbladder exam conclusion p 549 1.0 1.0 1.0 Source: NCHS, HHANES, 1982-84, Tape Number 6504, Version 1. 1METHODS DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING PROCEDURES Data presented in Sections E through H and the family relationships data in Section J were collected on the Household Screener and Family Questionnaires. Data presented in Section K were collected on the Adult Sample Person Questionnaire. These interview schedules were administered in sample persons' households. Completed interview schedules were reviewed in the Survey's field offices and again at the data processing center of NCHS by clerical editors. The editors checked the forms for completeness, clarity, and compliance with skip patterns, and they coded items such as industry and occupation. At the data processing center the questionnaires were keyed and verified on key-to-disk data entry equipment under the control of programs that checked for valid codes and ranges, compliance with skip patterns, and consistency. After being keyed, data were reedited by analysts for reasonableness and consistency and for compliance with instructions for sampling and questionnaire administration. 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 are given for each code. The counts are included to help the user in planning analyses and in verifying that programs account for all data. The data source is given also (e.g., from Family Questionnaire). In some cases, a note is referenced. The notes contain explanations of the item (e.g., how Poverty Index is calculated). Gallbladder ultrasonography and the oral glucose tolerance test were offered to every person in a randomly selected half sample of adults. Although examination sessions were conducted at all times of the day, the ultrasound examination and the oral glucose tolerance test were performed only in the morning examination sessions so that subjects could meet the fasting requirements of the study. The protocol for the oral glucose tolerance test required an overnight fas of 10-16 hours, while the protocol for gallbladder ultrasonography required a fast of at least six hours. In the Southwest and Dade County, Florida, ultrasonography was not performed on those who arrived at the Mobile Examination Centers in a nonfasting condition. However, a change in protocol was instituted in the New York City area sample of Puerto Ricans upon consultation with the study radiologists. In this Puerto Rican sample, ultrasonography was performed on those who came to the Mobile Examination Centers in a nonfasting condition. This change in protocol had no effect upon the findings of this study. Real time ultrasonography of the gallbladder was performed by health technicians using an instrument with a 3 MHz rotary mechanical sector scanning transducer (Advanced Technology Laboratories, Bellevue, Washington). Technicians also inspected the abdomen for surgical scars. Health technicians received training in ultrasonography of the gallbladder at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. To insure that adequate examinations were performed, the technicians' performance was spot checked by a radiologist and a senior certified ultrasound technician during pilot studies and throughout the main study. Additionally, still images (Southwest) and video tapes (Dade County, Florida and the New York City area) of ultrasound examinations were reviewed by two radiologists at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. All positive cases recorded on still films in the Southwest and a sample of films from those with normal gallbladders were reviewed by two radiologists, but in the other areas every available video tape of real time images (96.6 percent) was reviewed. 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 direct review of the collection form or a copy of it. Such responses may not represent fact, but they are included as recorded in the field. The user must determine if these responses 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 the information was deemed analytically useful. Caution should be used in interpreting the data from these new categories because there is no way of knowing which other respondents would have selected one of the new categories if given the option. For the adult sample person questionnaires there are three codes for missing information: 7's, 8's, and blanks. In a few questions, 7's were used when the question 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 particular item but for varying reasons that value is unavailable. Blanks were used to follow skip patterns, i.e., when a question was not supposed to be asked or was not applicable. The "don't know" codes (9, 99, 999) were used only when given as a printed response on the original questionnaire. Copies of the questionnaires and examination forms, both in English and Spanish, can be found in the plan and operation report for HHANES (Ref. No. 1). Detailed information on interviewing and examination procedures is contained in the household interviewer's manual (Ref. No. 12) and the examination staff procedures manual (Ref. No. 13).

However, a few Family Questionnaires are missing. Data records for sample persons in families with missing questionnaires are flagged with a code = 1, and all family data are blank. Data records for sample persons in families wit a Family Questionnaire are flagged with a code = 2. During the Mexican-American portion of the HHANES survey, a Family Questionnaire continuation booklet containing sample person information was lost for one sample person. Therefore, the sociodemographic data for this sample person are missing. The reference person, family composition, income, residence, and household data for this person were obtained from another person in the household. Examination Status Not all sample persons consented to come to a Mobile Examination Center to participate in the examination phase of the survey. In certain rare instances (less than 0.1%), sample persons who came to the Mobile Examination Centers did not participate in sufficient components of the examination to be considered as "examined." This data field contains code = 1 for those persons who participated fully in the examination phase, and code = 2 for those who did not come to the examination center or who did not satisfactorily complete the examination. Family Number In HHANES, all household members who were related by blood, marriage, or adoption were considered to be one "family." All sample persons in the same family unit have the same computer-generated family unit code. Head of Family Relationship of Sample Person to Head of family (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 family is coded in tape positions 44-45. The first three categories of this variable describe the "head" of three different kinds of families. * Code '01' identifies sample persons who lived alone (i.e., "head" of one-person families, no unrelated individuals living in the household). * Code '02' identifies sample persons who lived only with unrelated persons. * Code '03' identifies sample persons who were "heads" of families containing at least one other person (whether or not the household included additional families unrelated to the sample person). Sociodemographic Data (Pos. 100-131) This data tape includes some sociodemographic data about the head of each sample person's family (Section F). Because there can only be one "head" per family, the data in this section (positions 100-131) are the same for all sample persons in the same family (i.e., with the same family number codes in positions 39-43). If the sample person is head of his or her family, the data in positions 100-131 are the same as in the corresponding positions in Section E. 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 in the NHANES II and the National Health Interview Survey at that time. The categories 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. National Origin or Ancestry The value for national origin or ancestry is based on Item 2c in the Household Screener Questionnaire and was reported by the household respondent for all household members. In the Mexican-American portion of the survey, if "other Latin-American or other Spanish" (code 9) or "Other" (code 0) was recorded and the specified origin was "Spanish-American" or "Spanish (Spain)", a code of 10 or 11, respectively, was assigned. In all three portions of the survey, if more than one category was reported, the first appropriate "Hispanic" code, if any, was assigned (codes 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, or 11 in the Mexican-American portion; codes 6 or 7 in the Cuban-American portion; codes 4 or 5 in the Puerto Rican portion). If none of these codes was recorded, the first category entered was coded.

The national origin recode specifies whether a sample person is considered to be "Hispanic" or "not Hispanic" for purposes of analysis. "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; or Puerto Rican, residing in the New York City area, including parts of New Jersey and Connecticut. The recode was assigned as follows: A. Southwest portion 1) If the original national origin or ancestry code on the Household Screener Questionnaire was 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, or 11, then National origin recode = 1; 2) If national origin or ancestry was 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, or 0 but the person specified Mexican/Mexicano, Chicano, or Mexican-American self-identification on the Adult Sample Person Questionnaire (question M10), or the person was the biological child of a household member with Recode equal to 1 (as determined by questions A-1-A-11 on the Family Questionnaire), then National origin recode = 1; 3) In all other cases, National origin recode = 2. B. Dade County, Florida portion 1) If the original national origin or ancestry code was 6 or 7, then National origin recode = 1; 2) In all other cases, National origin recode = 2. C. New York City area portion 1) If the original national origin or ancestry code was 4 or 5, then National origin recode = 1; 2) If national origin or ancestry was 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 0 but the person specified Boricuan or Puerto Rican self-identification on the Adult Sample Person Questionnaire (question M-10), or the person was the biological child of a household member with Recode equal to 1 (as determined by questions A-1-A-11 on the Family Questionnaire), then National origin recode = 1; 3) In all other cases, National origin 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. In this case, in the Southwest portion of the survey, the weighted estimates by age and sex will approximately equal U.S. Bureau of Census population estimates of the number of Mexican Americans and a small proportion of other Hispanics assumed to be Hispano in the five Southwest States (Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas) at the midpoint of the Mexican-American portion of HHANES - March 1983. The weighted estimates of Cuban Americans represents an independent estimate of the number of Cuban Americans in Dade County at the midpoint, February 1984. The weighted estimates of Puerto Ricans represents an independent estimate of the number of Puerto Ricans in the sample counties in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut at the midpoint of the Puerto Rican portion - September 1984. b. Using Recode greater than 0, that is, all sample persons, will include "Hispanic" and "not Hispanic" persons and the Southwest weighted estimates by age and sex will overestimate the U.S. Bureau of the Census population estimates of Mexican Americans and other Hispanics by about 4.5 percent. In Dade County, using recode greater than 0 will increase the weighted estimates by about 5.3 percent over that for Cuban Americans only, using recode greater than 0 for the New York area will increase the weighted estimates by about 9.2 percent over that for Puerto Ricans only. 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 in the labor force working for pay at a job or business or who worked without pay in a family business or farm operated by a related member of the household without receiving wages or salary for work performed. Questions B-17 through B-22 provided a full description of sample persons' current or most recent job or business. The detail asked for in these questions was necessary to properly and accurately code each occupation and industry. Interviewers were trained to define a job as a definite arrangement for regular work for pay every week or every month. This included arrangements for either regular part-time or regular full-time work. If a sample person was absent from his or her regular job, worked at more than one job, was on layoff from a job, or was looking for work during the two week reference period, interviewers were trained to use the following criteria to determine the job described: a. If a sample person worked at more than one job during the two week reference period or operated a farm or business and also worked for someone else, the job at which he or she worked the most hours was described. If the sample person worked the same number of hours at all jobs, the job at which he or she had been employed the longest was entered. If the sample person was employed at all the same length of 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 two week reference period, but worked temporarily at another job, the job at which the sample person actually worked was described, not the job from which he or she was absent. c. If a sample person had a job but did not work at all during the two week 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 a full-time or part-time job, was described. e. If a sample person was looking for work or waiting to begin a new job within 30 days of the interview, the last full-time civilian job which lasted two consecutive weeks or more was described. The 1980 census of population Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations was used in the coding of both industry and occupation.

Its Stock Number is 003024049-2. Health Insurance a. In the Health Insurance section of the Family Questionnaire, up to three separate health insurance plans could be reported for a family. Each sample person could have been covered by any combination of the three, or by none at all. In order to simplify the health insurance coverage data, the information on all reported plans was combined to a single variable for each sample person, i.e., whether or not the person is covered by any plan (position 74). For all persons covered by at least one plan, information on the type of coverage is then indicated; position 75 specifies whether any of the sample person's plans pays hospital expenses and position 76 specifies whether any of the sample person's plans pays doctor's or surgeon's bills. b. For all sample persons who were not covered by Medicare or any health insurance plan, the reasons for not being covered were ascertained. Positions 77-78 contain the main or only reason reported. For persons with one or more additional reasons, the first (lowest) code entered on the questionnaire was coded in positions 79-80. Per Capita Income Per capita income was computed by dividing the total combined family income by the number of people in the family. Poverty Index The poverty index is a ratio of two components. The numerator is the midpoint of the income bracket reported for each family in the Family Questionnaire (E-11). Respondents were asked to report total combined family income during the 12 months preceding the interview. The denominator is a poverty threshold which varied with the number of persons in the family, the adult/child composition of the family, the age of the reference person, and the month and the year in which the family was interviewed. Poverty thresholds published in Bureau of the Census reports* are based on calendar years and were adjusted to reflect differences caused by inflation between calendar years and 12 month income reference periods to which question E-11 referred. Average Consumer Price Indexes for all Urban consumers (CPI-U) for the calendar year for which the poverty thresholds were published (see table below) and for the 12 months representing the income reference period for the respondent were calculated. The percentage difference between these two numbers represents the inflation between these two periods and was applied to the poverty threshold appropriate for the family (based on the characteristics listed above). For example, for a family interviewed in November, 1983, the 1982 poverty threshold was updated to reflect inflation by multiplying by the percent change in the average CPI-U for the 12 month reference period, which would have been November, 1982 through October, 1983, over the calendar year January through December, 1982, in this example. To compute poverty indexes, the midpoint of the total combined family income bracket was divided by the updated poverty threshold.

U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 144, "Characteristics of the Population Below the Poverty Level: 1982", U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., March 1984. Members of families with incomes equal to or greater than poverty thresholds have poverty indexes equal to or greater than 1.0 and can be described as "at or above poverty"; those with incomes less than the poverty threshold have indexes less than 1.0 and can be described as "below poverty". Poverty thresholds used were computed on a national basis only. No attempt was made to adjust these thresholds for regional, State, or other variations in the cost of living. None of the noncash public welfare benefits such as food stamp bonuses were included in the income of the low income families receiving these benefits. Size of Place and SMSA Codes for size of place and SMSA were obtained from Bureau of Census summary tape files (STF1B). 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 Census around definite residential nuclei with dense, city-type street patterns, with, ideally, at least 1,000 persons per square mile. The boundaries of Census defined places may not coincide with civil divisions. A Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) is a large population nucleus and nearby communities which have a high degree of economic and social integration with that nucleus. Generally, an SMSA includes one or more central cities, all urbanized areas around the city or cities, and the remainder of the county or counties in which the urbanized areas are located. SMSAs are designed by the Office of Management and Budget. The same place size and SMSA codes were assigned to all persons in the same segment (for the definition of segments see Ref. No. 1 in Section C). In a few cases segments were divided by place boundaries. In these cases codes were assigned after inspecting segment maps. If the segment was predominantly in one place, then the place code for that place was used. If the segment was approximately evenly divided, the code for the larger place was used. Home Heating Questions E3 through E6, pertaining to the main fuel and equipment used for heating the home, appear to have codes which are inconsistent. It has been verified that these are the codes that were recorded on the original document; that is, codes that appear inconsistent were not incorrectly keyed. Illogical or Extreme Values The responses for some sample persons for this variable may appear extreme, illogical, or inconsistent with responses in other variables. The data entry was verified through direct review of the collection form or a copy of it. These responses may not represent fact but they are included as they were recorded. The user must determine if these responses should be included in analyses. Nausea and pain For both persistent nausea (questions F15-16) and abdominal pain (questions F33-34), persons who had seen a doctor for their problem were asked to report what the doctor called it, and persons who did not see a doctor were asked simply what the cause of the problem was. For all four of these variables, responses were coded into the following categories: 0 Gallbladder condition - includes mention of gallstones, cholecystectomy, or other gallbladder problem. 1 Upper gastrointestinal condition - includes any condition or distress specifically involving the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum; includes heartburn and other symptoms generally confined to the upper gastrointestinal tract. 2 Lower gastrointestinal condition - includes conditions involving the colon or rectum, including cancer, irritable or inflamed colon. 3 Other or nonspecific gastrointestinal condition - includes liver conditions, ulcer or hernia when the site was not specified, nonspecific indigestion, indigestion resulting from specified foods. 4 Cardiovascular condition - includes heart attack, angina, hypertension, or other mention of heart trouble. 5 Stress, nerves, tension 6 Menstrual or reproductive system condition - includes periods or menstrual cramps; any specified medical condition of ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, or vagina; pain or nausea related to pregnancy, childbirth, or abortion. 7 Other or nonspecific condition - includes conditions of other body systems, including respiratory conditions, kidney or bladder conditions, or musculoskeletal conditions, as well as vague symptoms not classified elsewhere; also includes responses such as "nothing" or "doctor not sure," and multiple entries. 8 Blank but applicable - indicates the question was erroneously omitted or an unintelligible entry or a response of "don't know" was recorded. 9 Not asked - These questions were added in the second printing of the questionnaire, which went into the field midway through the Mexican-American portion of the survey. Hence, for persons interviewed in the first half of that portion, if their answers to preceding questions dictated that these items should have been asked, a code '9' was inserted. Hospitalization or medication for abdominal pain Questions F35 and F36, on hospitalization or medication for the abdominal pain, were not asked for persons who reported in question F32 not having seen a doctor.
