Short Description of Instrument
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a program of studies designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States. The NHANES is a major part of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) which is part of the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
 
The NHANES interview includes demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and health-related questions. The examination component consists of medical, dental, and physiological measurements, as well as laboratory tests administered by highly trained medical personnel.
Scoring
Questions with multiple response options can be grouped into categories for analysis or analyzed independently with other outcome measures. There is no overall score.
