National Health Interview Survey

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a large, ongoing study conducted by the U.S. government to gather information about the health of people living in the United States. It involves interviewing thousands of households each year to collect data on health conditions, healthcare access, behaviors, and insurance coverage. This information helps policymakers, researchers, and public health officials understand health trends, identify emerging issues, and develop programs to improve community health. The survey is an important tool for monitoring the nation’s overall health and assessing the impact of health policies over time.
