The purpose of this collaboration is to inform the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Nation on the status of key measures of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and sleep health, such as blood pressure, serum lipid levels, risk factors for disease, airway flow limitation, reports of efforts to control weight, and reports of sleep disturbances, and disease prevalence in the US civilian population. NIH identifies key cost-effective basic measures for these conditions and behaviors, relevant to its mission and amenable to being utilized in a mobile hospital setting. NIH staff work with National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) staff to implement the most cost-effective of the measures, to monitor and help manage the survey in progress, and to evaluate and publish the resulting data.

For the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-14, the National Cancer Institute proposed and coordinated funding from multiple National Institutes of Health Institutes and the Department of Defense for two components: a new technology physical activity monitor to be worn on the wrist and a measurement of muscle strength using a hand-grip dynamometer. The wrist-worn accelerometer will provide the first objective measurement of sleep duration in a nationally representative sample, in addition to measuring physical activity movement. The muscle-strength measure will provide an indicator of total body strength for children, adults, and older adults who are NHANES participants.

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), carried out by the CDC, is a national survey that annually monitors the Nation’s health through personal interviews of a representative sample of the civilian, non-institutionalized U.S. population. The National Cancer Institute periodically sponsors a Cancer Control Supplement (CCS) which is administered to a randomly selected sample of 39,000 adults. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases provides support for the development of the diabetes interview components and funding for collection of data. Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) related questions are posed to about 30,000 randomly selected NHIS participants every 5 years. The data from the survey provides many fascinating insights into the types of CAM people use, the reasons for which they turn to CAM, and changes that have occurred since the last time CAM questions were included in the survey.

The purpose of this agreement is for the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) to provide financial support to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The FY2012 funds provide partial support for the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and contribute to the development, testing, and 2014 implementation of the Hearing questions. The Hearing questions for the 2014 NHIS will be similar in scope to the 2007 NHIS Hearing supplement for the "sampled" adult and, also, will include some questions for report by the parent/caregiver on the hearing of their “sampled” child (age range: birth to 17 years old). This project is a collaborative effort between NCHS and NIDCD.
