Scientific Data DocumentationImmunization, 1996DSN: CC37.NHIS96.IMMUNIZE 1996 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Childhood Immunization File In the 1996 NHIS, information on childhood immunizations was collected from adult respondents (often the mother) for a sample child under 6 years of age in the NHIS household sample with age-eligible children. Information was also collected for all additional 19-35 month old children. Analysts are STRONGLY encouraged to review the questionnaire used for this survey before undertaking any analyses. Five vaccine types were asked about in the survey: DTP, Polio, Measles or MMR, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), and Hepatitis B. When possible, information was abstracted directly from vaccination records maintained by the family. Respondents with vaccination records were also asked about additional shots that may have been received but were not listed on the records. Respondents who were unable to provide records were asked the number of shots of each type their child had received. Respondents who did not know the exact number of shots but stated that the child had received "all" of a particular type of vaccination had "88" coded as the number of shots. For each vaccine type, the total number of shots received was calculated and included as a recode for each child in the file. For children 2 years and older who had complete shot record information (i.e., all their vaccination information was contained on their shot record), the total number received by 24 months was also calculated and included on the file as a recode. Estimation of immunization coverage levels (i.e., the percentage of children who are "up-to-date" for a particular vaccine type or a series of vaccines) is complicated. The National Immunization Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is responsible for calculating the official Public Health Service coverage level estimates. Analysts who wish to make these types of estimates can contact the National Immunization Program's Statistical Analysis Branch (404-639-8235) for technical assistance. Information collected in this survey is the same as that collected in the 1992-95 NHIS. Similar information was also collected in the 1991 NHIS as part of a supplement on child health. However, there are some differences in the way the information based on respondent's recall was collected in 1992-96 compared with 1991. In 1991, the ages of vaccination were collected for each antigen; in 1992-96, just the total number of shots of each type was collected. The recode for shots received before 24 months was calculated for all children 2 and older in 1991; in 1992-96, since data on ages at vaccination was not collected in the history portion, this recode could only be calculated for those children with complete shot record information. The response rate to the 1996 Immunization Survey was 88.3 percent and was calculated as follows: The response rate to the NHIS Core questionnaire was 93.8 percent. Of the eligible families from the CORE, 94.1 percent responded to the Immunization supplement. Multiplying these two response rates together yields the overall response rate to the Immunization Survey (88.3 percent). Each respondent record in the Immunization file contains a final weight (file locations 207-212). Weights must be used to make estimates based on this data file that take into account the sample design. For several reasons the sampling weight on this file differs from the corresponding weight for the same child on the NHIS Core Person file. The Immunization file is based on a sample of children under 6 identified in the NHIS sample. In addition, there was a nonresponse to the request for immunization information. Therefore, respondent data on the Immunization file was reweighted, including a post- stratification adjustment to independent estimates of the population by race/ethnicity, sex, and individual year of age. It is important to note that these weights must be used with all records (sample children and additional children) since the weights take into account the additional sampling of 19-35 month old children. Most of the sampling weights for records on the Immunization file are between 1000 and 6000. However, due to the design of the NHIS and the weighting procedure, there may be some records on the Immunization file which have very large weights (e.g., 29,000). Analyses based on small raw sample sizes may be heavily influenced by the inclusion of these records with larger weights. Analysts are encouraged to look at the distribution of weights for records being analyzed to decide how to handle these weighting outliers. The following indicates the number of sample children as well as additional children in the household: 1996 NHIS Immunization File Sample Children: 4,136 Other Children: 328 Total Children: 4,464 19-35 months (total) 1,296 1996 NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY (NHIS) IMMUNIZATION PUBLIC USE DATA FILE Guidelines for Citation of Data With the goal of mutual benefit, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) requests that recipients of data files cooperate in certain actions related to their use.
