Summary

The basic purpose of the Health Interview Survey (HIS) is to obtain information about the amount and distribution of illness, its effects in terms of disability and chronic impairments, and the kinds of health services people receive. Person variables include sex, age, race, marital status, veteran status, education, income, industry and occupation codes, and limits on activity. This AIDS Supplement also features information on knowledge of and attitudes towards the disease. Variables include questions on the effects of the disease, how AIDS is spread, where to obtain information on AIDS, blood tests for AIDS, how to avoid getting the disease, and personal knowledge of anyone who had the test for AIDS or had the virus or AIDS disease.
