Series 2, No. 174. Data Quality Assessment of the 2014 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey.

The 2014 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey (NHPI NHIS) is the first federal survey designed exclusively to measure the health of the noninstitutionalized civilian NHPI population of the United States. This report assesses the quality of the 2014 NHPI NHIS data, by examining if and how estimates of NHPI population characteristics calculated using the survey’s data differ from estimates of the same characteristics calculated using data from two other sources: the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (the sampling frame for the 2014 NHPI NHIS) and the annual NHIS for combined years 2010–2014.

Series 2, No. 175. National Center for Health Statistics Data Presentation Standards for Proportions.

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) disseminates information on a broad range of health topics through diverse publications. These publications must rely on clear and transparent presentation standards that can be broadly and efficiently applied. Standards are particularly important for large, cross-cutting reports where estimates cannot be individually evaluated and indicators of precision cannot be included alongside the estimates. This report describes the NCHS Data Presentation Standards for Proportions.
