Description:his report presents information regarding the analytic and reporting guidelines for the 2011-2012 NHANES publicly released data. This document is an addendum to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES): Analytic Guidelines, 1999-2010, hereafter referred to as the 1999-2010 Analytic Guidelines (available at: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/nhanes2003-2004/analytical_guidelines.htm). All the guidelines provided in that document are relevant to data from the 2011-2012 survey cycle, so users are urged to review that document before reading the sections below.
Note that the statistical guidelines in this document, and the 1999-2010 Analytic Guidelines, are not standards. Depending on subject matter and statistical efficiency, specific analyses may depart from these guidelines. In conducting analyses, the analyst needs to use his or her subject matter knowledge (including knowledge of methodological issues), as well as information about the survey design. The more an analyst deviates from the original analytic categories defined in the sample design, the more important it is to evaluate the results carefully and to interpret the findings cautiously.
