INTRODUCTION The National Immunization Survey - Teen (NIS-Teen) is sponsored by the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) and conducted by NCIRD. The NIS-Teen is a list-assisted random-digit-dialing telephone survey of households followed by a mailed survey to teens' immunization providers to monitor teen immunization coverage. The target population for the NIS-Teen is children between the ages of 13 and 17 years living in the United States at the time of the interview. Data from the NIS-Teen are used to produce timely estimates of vaccination coverage rates for all teen vaccinations recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). See this website for more information. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/imz-managers/nis/about.html CONTENT OF THE 2017 NIS-Teen PUF The files listed below can be found at this location: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/imz-managers/nis/datasets.html The overall package consists of eight computer files, as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME.TYPE File Description Size (KB) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NISTEENPUF17README.TXT 9 2017 Readme File (this text) NISTEENPUF17DUG.PDF 3,771 2017 NIS-Teen PUF Data User's Guide (Adobe Acrobat format) NISTEENPUF17CODEBOOK.PDF 5,579 2017 NIS-Teen PUF Data Documentation, Codebook, and Frequencies (Adobe Acrobat format) NISTEENPUF17.DAT 57,129 2017 NIS-Teen PUF Dataset (ASCII format) NISTEENPUF17.SAS 112 2017 SAS Input Statements (ASCII format) NISTEENPUF17.R 139 2017 R Input Statements (ASCII format) NISTEENPUF17HHQUEX.PDF 456 2017 NIS-Teen Household Questionnaire (Adobe Acrobat format) NISTEENPUF17IHQ.PDF 948 2017 NIS-Teen Immunization History Questionnaire (Adobe Acrobat format) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2017 NIS-Teen public-use data file is available in ASCII format. A SAS program (in ASCII format) is provided to facilitate reading the ASCII data file and creating a SAS dataset. The SAS program contains, for each variable in the ASCII file, the variable name, its starting position and end position, labels, and formats. An R program (in ASCII format) is also provided to facilitate reading the ASCII data file and creating an R dataset. The R program contains, for each variable in the ASCII file, the variable name, its starting position and end position, labels, and formats. The data file NISTEENPUF17.DAT can be used for processing by statistical software packages that accept ASCII-formatted input, or it can be transferred to another computer for processing. For more information about the 2017 NIS-Teen PUF, data users should consult the 2017 NIS-Teen PUF Data User's Guide and the 2017 NIS-Teen PUF Data Documentation, Codebook, and Frequencies. Users of these data must review that descriptive and explanatory documentation to analyze the data correctly. These documents are available in PDF format. The 2017 NIS-Teen PUF Data User's Guide provides detailed information about the design of the 2017 NIS-Teen sample, the questionnaires, the weighting and estimation procedures, and other important information needed for analyzing these data. The 2017 NIS-Teen PUF Data Documentation, Codebook and Frequencies contains indexes of the variables (in both data-file-position order and alphabetical order), the variable responses, and either unweighted frequencies of categorical variables or unweighted summary statistics for continuous variables. The 2017 NIS-Teen files are large. Please use caution and check the capacity of your disk drive before downloading them. Documents in PDF format can be viewed with Adobe Acrobat software. The Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded from the Adobe Acrobat website at: http://get.adobe.com/reader UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS AND WEIGHTING The unique teen identification number is SEQNUMT. Because only one teen is selected for the interview per household, SEQNUMT is also a unique household identifier. In 2017, the NIS-Teen PUF contains interviews collected both by landline telephones and by cell phones. To produce estimates for the U.S. proper, the RDD-phase sampling weights are called RDDWT_D, and the provider-phase sampling weights for teens with adequate provider data are called PROVWT_D. Data for the U.S. territories are not included on the 2017 NIS-Teen PUF.
