Survey Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – Oversampling of Asians

National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Division of Diabetes Translation www.cdc.gov/diabetes

Datasets

❑ National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ❑ National Health Interview Survey

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)

❑ Assess health and nutritional status of adults and

children in U.S.

❑ Home interviews -- demographic, socioeconomic,

dietary, health-related questions

❑ Physical examinations in mobile centers – medical,

dental, physiological measurements, including:

▪ Blood pressure ▪ Cholesterol – total, HDL, LDL ▪ Glucose ▪ Glucohemoglobin (HbA1c) ▪ Oral glucose tolerance (morning exams only)

Sampling Process

❑ Nationally representative sample of about 5000

people each year (civilian, non-institutionalized)

▪ Oversampling of people 60+, African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics

❑ 4-stage process to select:

▪ Primary sampling units (PSUs -- counties or small groups of contiguous counties) – 15 each year ▪ Segments within PSUs that constitute a block or group of blocks containing a cluster of households ▪ Specific households within segments ▪ Individuals within a household

Sampling Within Households

❑ List all people in household ❑ Identify any who consider selves Hispanic or Latino ❑ Identify those who consider selves:

▪ American Indian or Alaskan Native ▪ Asian ▪ Black or African American ▪ Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander ▪ White ▪ Other

❑ Apply sampling algorithm at each step

Facilitating Asian Over-sampling

❑ Survey materials translated into Mandarin Chinese

(traditional and simplified), Korean, and Vietnamese.

❑ Recorded and written translations posted on

NHANES participants’ web page

❑ Short video on what is involved

▪ Available in Mandarin, Korean, Vietnamese, and Hindi

❑ Cultural competency training of staff ❑ Local interpreters when necessary and translated

glossaries of terms, hand cards, and exam scripts

Oversampling of Asians

❑ Data released in 2-year cycles ❑ 2011-2012

▪ Total -- 9,756 adults completed the interview and 9,338 were examined. ▪ 754 Asians adults completed interview

• About 332 examined in morning and had fasted
• 77 had diabetes

❑ Need at least 4 years of data for acceptable reliability

for detailed analyses of Asian sample

▪ 2011-2014 will include about 1500 Asians

Demographic characteristics of Asian and non- Hispanic white adults in U.S.: NHANES 2011– 2012

Prevalence of High BMI among Asian adults in U.S.: NHANES 2011–2012

Prevalence of hypertension among Asian adults in U.S.: NHANES, 2011–2012

Prevalence of measured high total cholesterol among Asian adults in U.S.: NHANES 2011– 2012

Prevalence of measured low HDL cholesterol among Asian adults in U.S.: NHANES 2011– 2012

Issues

❑ High % of foreign-born people in sample versus

Census

❑ BMI cut points for Asians not used

▪ Will do when have 4 years of data

❑ Difference in low HDL between men and women

Diabetes Brief Coming Soon

❑ Total prevalence of diabetes (self reported

diagnosis, diabetes based on fasting glucose level

• r A1c)

❑ Undiagnosed diabetes (based on FPG or A1c among

those who do not self report)

❑ Type of diabetes treatment reported by those with

self reported diabetes

❑ A1c levels among those with self report of diabetes

National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)

❑ Cross-sectional household in-person interview –

household and family, 1 adult, 1 child

▪ 2011 – 39,509 households and 33,014 individual adults

❑ Done yearly ❑ Continuous data collection ❑ Core questions

▪ Household -- demographics ▪ Family -- health status and limitations, injuries, healthcare access and use, health insurance, income and assets ▪ Selected adult and child -- health status (diabetes and prediabetes), health care services, health behaviors

Sampling Process

❑ 4 -stage process

▪ Sample of 428 PSUs (county, small group of contiguous counties, or metropolitan statistical area) across 50 states and DC ▪ Within a PSU -- sample smaller geographic segments (with up to 16 addresses) ▪ Select households ▪ Select 1 parent, 1 child (if present)

Oversampling of Asians

❑ Started in 1996 ❑ Two methods

▪ Stage 2 -- select geographic segments with higher # Asians at a higher rate ▪ Stage 3 – screen for Asians in selecting households

Diagnosed Diabetes in U.S. by Race and Sex: NHIS 1980–2011

2011 Sample of Asians

❑ Total Asian - 7569

▪ Asian Indian – 1297 ▪ Chinese – 1509 ▪ Filipino – 1689

Demographics (Preliminary)

❑ Male - 47% Female - 53% ❑ Age

▪ 18-44 – 56% ▪ 45-64 – 32% ▪ 65-74 – 8% ▪ 75+ - 4%

❑ Education

▪ Less than high school – 13% ▪ Completed high school – 19% ▪ More than high school – 66%

Good News!

❑ 2014 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander NHIS

▪ Select 4000 additional households with 1+ NHPI residents ▪ Nationally-representative sample from all 50 states and DC ▪ Collected by Census Bureau interviewers with training on NHPI cultural sensitivity and awareness ▪ Public use data file available mid-2015
