Abstract:
|
This talk will describe how conceptual approaches to developing and revising the NHIS questionnaire have evolved over fifty years. For example, questions in early versions of the NHIS asked about an individual's perceived health status and its impact on functional limitations, but did not ask about diagnoses of medical conditions, whereas today's NHIS collects information on diagnoses by medical professionals. The changing approaches to collecting NHIS' respondent-reported information will be described in relation to changes in theories of public health.
