Abstract: DHIS collects on an annual basis, statistically valid data on the amount, distribution, and effects of illness and disability in the population and on the utilization of health care services for such conditions. NHIS data are used widely throughout the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to monitor trends in illness and disability and to track progress toward achieving many of the health objectives for the nation. This Revision includes updated Survey information and burden edits. The current design of the NHIS questionnaire, implemented in 2019, features a rotational schedule consisting of annual core, rotating core, emerging content, and sponsored content modules. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to accommodate the addition/removal of questions on the Household Roster, Adult, Child, Re-Interview Survey Content Sections of the approved data collection. There is a very minor decrease in estimated burden hours.
