| | | | Summary: | The National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS) is a survey of
nursing homes and related care facilities in the United States. During
2004, information regarding facility and financial characteristics was
gathered from 1,174 facilities, along with current resident
information for 13,507 residents, with additional information from
3,017 Nursing Assistants. The 2004 NNHS, conducted between August and
December of 2004, was reintroduced into the field after a five-year
break, during which time the survey was redesigned and expanded to
collect many new data items using the National Nursing Assistant
Survey (NNAS), which was sponsored by the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (APSE) and is the first national
study of nursing assistants working in nursing facilities in the
United States. Facilities (DS 1) information was gathered through
personal interviews with facility administrators and provided
information on topics such as certification, availability of beds, and
kinds of services provided, including dental, hospice, and nutrition.
Current Residents (DS 2) information includes questions regarding age,
race, marital status, level of care, and use of aids such as walkers,
hearing aids, and crutches. Nursing Assistants (Part 3) information
looked at the important role of nursing assistants in providing
long-term care services for the growing population of the elderly and
chronically ill. The NNAS gathered information regarding recruitment,
education, training and licensure, job history, and family life, along
with client relations, job satisfaction, and workplace environment. |

| | | Universe: | For the 2004 survey, 1,500 nursing home facilities were
selected from a sampling frame of United States nursing homes. The
sampling frame was drawn from two sources: (1) The Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services' Provider of Services file of United
States nursing homes, and (2) state licensing lists compiled by a
private organization. These two files contained approximately 17,000
nursing homes. The combined files were matched and unduplicated,
resulting in a sampling frame of 16,628 nursing homes. |

| | | Data Collection Notes: | Per agreement with NCHS, ICPSR distributes the data
files and text of the technical documentation for this collection as
prepared by NCHS. |

| | | | Sample: | A sample of 1,500 nursing homes was selected. Of these,
283 refused to participate and 43 were considered out of scope for one
or more of the following reasons: the nursing home had gone out of
business, it failed to meet the definition used in this survey, or it
was a duplicate of another facility in the sample. A total of 1,174
nursing homes participated at the first stage by providing facility
information, resulting in a first stage response rate of 81 percent. A
total of 14,017 residents were sampled from the responding
facilities. Of these, 8 were out of scope and 502 refused, yielding a
second stage response rate of 96 percent, and an overall response rate
for the resident component of the NNHS of 78 percent. |

summary of holdings. Detailed file-level information (such as record length, case count, and variable count) is listed in the
file manifest. |

| | | Restrictions: | In preparing the data files for this collection, the
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has removed direct
identifiers and characteristics that might lead to identification of
data subjects. As an additional precaution NCHS requires, under
Section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m), that
data collected by NCHS not be used for any purpose other than
statistical analysis and reporting. NCHS further requires that
analysts not use the data to learn the identity of any persons or
establishments and that the director of NCHS be notified if any
identities are inadvertently discovered. ICPSR member institutions and
other users ordering data from ICPSR are expected to adhere to these
restrictions. |
