The Health of Houston Survey 2010 (HHS2010) is the first household survey to provide communities with information about the health of people living in the area of Harris County and City of Houston (Houston area). The survey supports the efforts of health agencies, service providers, and community organizations to have more accurate and up-to-date health information about Houston communities. The goal of the survey is to create a reliable, efficient and flexible infrastructure for a biennial survey to track emerging health issues, assess the impact of health programs, and document health improvements in valid and fully-comparable ways in the Houston area. HHS 2010 collects extensive information for multiple segments of the population on health status, conditions, behaviors, insurance coverage, and access. The survey provides health and sociodemographic information about one adult and one child in the case of households with children. Within each sampled household, we randomly chose an adult to interview. If the selected adult was the parent, guardian or caregiver of one or more children in the household, the adult provided health information regarding a randomly selected child.
The HHS 2010 sample is representative of Harris County and the City of Houston's non-institutionalized population living in households. The HHS2010 was designed to capture reliable data for a number of subpopulations:
· White, African American, Hispanic, Vietnamese, and Other Asian populations
· A standard range of age and income cohorts
· The total population of Harris County and the City of Houston
Using an addressed-based sample, over 30,000 residents received invitations to participate in the HHS2010. The survey was administered using three modalities. These were computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI), web-based and mailed questionnaires. The survey was available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Certain populations were oversampled using a disproportionate stratified design. These populations included Vietnamese, Asian and African-American populations. The primary strata were the 1-percent PUMAs, and the secondary strata clusters were Census block groups.

The units of analyses include individuals, children ages 0-17 and adults 18 and older, and households.
The data were collected from the fall of 2010 to the spring of 2011.
Data collection relied on three interview modes: telephone (CATI), web, and mail. The survey options were explained to those sample members in advance letters and reminder letters. Advance letters and reminder letters in three languages were mailed to all in the sample, offering the options of telephone and web survey models. In addition, sample for which listed telephone numbers could be obtained, traditional telephone interviewing methods are used as well. The specific steps for the data collection process were as follows: 1) Advance letters in three languages were sent to all households. The advance letter invited the household to participate in the study and offered the option of calling in to the survey center using a toll-free telephone number or completing a web-based survey. Unmatched sample also had the option of sending their phone number by filling out a postcard that was sent with the advance letter. Letters for AB sample with a listed telephone number also notified people that they would be receiving a call in the next few weeks to complete the survey. Advance letters included a $2 pre-incentive. 2) Telephone interviews were attempted with all households for which we had a telephone number. The initial calls commenced one week after the mailing of the advance letters. 3) Reminder notices were sent to all non-responding households. 4) A final reminder notice was sent to all non-responding households. A copy of the mail questionnaire was included in this final reminder notice. All of the letters and reminder postcards included a 1-800 toll-free number that the respondent could call for additional information on the survey or to complete the survey by telephone.
Important note: two survey-related weights are provided. It is important that these weights are used correctly when using the "tabulation" and "analysis" capabilities of Nesstar. A survey weight is a value assigned to each case in the data file and is used to make statistics computed from the data more representative of the population. Survey data are weighted to adjust for differential sampling probabilities, to reduce any biases that may arise because of differences between respondents and non-respondents (i.e., nonresponse bias), and to address gaps in coverage in the survey frame (i.e., coverage bias). Survey weights, when properly applied in surveys can reduce the effect of nonresponse and coverage gaps on the reliability of the survey results. The weight named "Population weight" (pop_wgt) is to be used when frequencies or percentages that reflect the overall population are desired. This weight is best used in tabulation analyses. It is not to be used when performing correlation and regression analyses. The weight named "Person weight, normalized" (norm_wgt) is to be used when performing correlation and regression analyses. This is a normalized weight, which, when applied, totals the same number of respondents as the sample. The methodology used for calculating population and person weights is described in this PDF: http://hhs2010.sph.uth.tmc.edu/methods/Methodology_Report_HHS2010_Weights.pdf . For more information about survey weighting and the correct application of weights, see http://help.pop.psu.edu/help-by-statistical-method/weighting/Introduction%20to%20survey%20weights%20pri%20version.ppt/view .
This is the questionnaire used by telephone interviewers and the programmers for the Web-based survey.
This is the English language mail questionnaire.
This file contains two worksheets that detail which ZIP Codes were aggregated into the 28 areas used by the Health of Houston Survey for neighborhood analyses. One worksheet can be used in a GIS or mapping system to label the areas. The second worksheet is designed to be printed into hardcopy.
This compressed (ZIP) file contains two shapefiles that show the ZIP28 areas used by the Health of Houston Survey for neighborhood analyses. One shapefile is a boundary (or polygon) file that shows the outlines of all 28 areas. The other shapefile is a point file (centroids). These files are optimizied for use with ESRI ArcMap products. If you are using other GIS software, please see their instructions for importing ESRI shapefiles.
