The goal of this exercise is to explore the ways in which health status, health care access, and health care utilization differ between social classes. Crosstabulation will be used. Data for this exercise come from the 2004 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The purpose of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is to obtain information about the amount and distribution of illness, its effects in terms of disability and chronic impairments, and the kinds of health services people receive. Implementation of a redesigned NHIS, consisting of a basic module, a periodic module, and a topical module, began in 1997 (see NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1997 [ICPSR 2954]). The 2004 NHIS contains the Household, Family, Person, Sample Adult and Sample Child files from the basic module.
