Excerpt
NHANES III used a stratified, multistage design to obtain a representative probability sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States, 2 months of age and over. The survey was conducted from October 1988 through October 1994 and was designed as two 3-year phases, each of which constitutes a national probability sample. The 6-year sample, also a national probability sample, provides more statistically reliable estimates because of its larger size. Subgroups of the population were oversampled to allow increased precision in estimates for these groups; subgroups included non-Hispanic black persons, Mexican-American persons, all children 2 months to 5 years of age, and all persons 60 years of age and over. A detailed description of sample design specifications and other methods of the survey is included in the Plan and Operation of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988–94 (7). Sample collections, procedures, and methods related to laboratory examinations are found in Laboratory Methods Used for the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), 1988–94, a component of the above reference (8).
