Using IPUMS NHIS to Study Aging and Health
IPUMS NHIS offers an integrated and harmonized version of the public use National Health Interview Survey, making it easier for researchers to use this incredible data resource. The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is the world’s longest running annual, population survey of health. From a nationally-representative sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized US population, the NHIS collects information about health and disability, medical conditions, health care access and utilization, health behaviors, and the sociodemographic and socioeconomic correlates of health. The NHIS is an in-person, household survey that has been fielded by the National Center for Health Statistics since 1957, with digital copies of the data available from 1963 to the present. To learn more about IPUMS NHIS and how to get started using the data, please visit the IPUMS NHIS homepage and the IPUMS NHIS user guide for information about the NHIS sample, guidance on and sample code for analyzing the NHIS data, and descriptions of specific NHIS topics.
