Summary 

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a primary source of information on the health of the population of the United States. The NHIS is a cross-sectional household interview survey that is fielded continuously throughout the year.

A core questionnaire collected data on topics such as injuries, diseases, conditions, disability, limitation of activity, doctor visits, hospitalization, and demographic information such as housing, family composition, income, etc. The supplement sections for the 1993 NHIS included the following topics: immunization, AIDS knowledge and attitudes, access to health care, health insurance, and the "Year 2000 Objectives" (i.e. environmental health, tobacco use, nutrition, occupation safety and health, oral health). The 1993 Teenage Attitudes and Practices Survey was a follow-up study to the 1993 NHIS.
