The Hawaii Health Survey (HHS) is a continuous statewide household survey of
health and socio-demographic conditions. The survey is conducted as a means
of providing Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) programs, other agencies, and
the public with statistics for planning and evaluation of health services, programs,
and problems. The survey provides demographic information for observing population
changes during the intercensal decade. It provides state and sub-area estimates
of gender, age, income, race, education, household size, insurance status, health
status, morbidity, and food security.
The HHS (initiated in 1968) was modeled after the National Health Information Survey. In 1996 it
became a telephone survey; OHSM has contracted with SMS Research to conduct
the survey. The respondent is an adult 18 years of age or older
who is knowledgeable about their household, rather than a randomized adult.
In 2004, 6,769 households (6,769 adult respondents that were aged 18 years of
age or older) with 19,699 household members were surveyed. The sample data
was adjusted and weighted to generate estimates of what could be expected for
the population and the households in Hawaii for the year 2004. The total numbers
are adjusted as households without telephones, Ni`ihau, group quarters, and
the homeless are not represented (HHS Procedure Manual 2004).
The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT), as
agreed upon with the U.S. Bureau of the Census, provides annual state and county
estimates of the total population on gender, age, county, and household size.
These population data were used to inflate (weight), the telephone sampling
data.
Fractions were rounded by the computer to the nearest whole number resulting
in totals that may differ from the sum of the individual numbers in the columns.
In most cases, percentages were calculated by dividing the total for a particular
category by the total of the entire column, including the answers "do not know"
and "refused."
