National Health Interview Survey, 1992: Cancer Epidemiology Supplement

<p>The purpose of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 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. The 1992 Cancer Epidemiology Supplement includes variables from the NHIS core Person File (see NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1992 (ICPSR 6343)), including sex, age, race, marital status, veteran status, education, income, industry and occupation codes, and limits on activity. Variables unique to this supplement include information on acculturation (in terms of language, ethnicity, and place of birth), dietary knowledge, smoking and tobacco use, and occupational history. The supplement also covers frequency and portion sizes of food and drink items, vitamin and mineral intake, hormone use, family's and respondent's history of cancer, and respondent's height and weight.
