Conducted annually since 1957

This survey is the primary source for data on current health issues in the United States. Data on incidence and prevalence of acute and chronic conditions are collected via a continuing, nationwide household interview survey. In addition to the basic survey protocol, each year there are supplements to the survey to collect information on specific topics. A Child Health Supplement was included in the 1988 and 1991 surveys.
