NHHAS

The National Home Health Aide Survey (NHHAS), the first national probability survey of home health aides, was designed to provide national estimates of home health aides employed by agencies that provide home health and/or hospice care. NHHAS was sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). NHHAS, a multistage probability sample survey, was conducted as a supplement to the 2007 National Home and Hospice Care Survey. Agencies providing home health and/or hospice care were sampled into NHHCS, and then up to six home health aides were sampled from eligible participating NHHCS agencies. Home health aides were considered eligible to participate in NHHAS if they were (1) directly employed by the sampled agency; and (2) provided assistance in activities of daily living (ADLs), including bathing, dressing, transferring, eating, and toileting. NHHAS was administered to aides during their nonworking hours by interviewers. The survey instrument included sections on recruitment, training, job history, family life, management and supervision, client relations, organizational commitment and job satisfaction, workplace environment, work-related injuries, and demographics. Interviews were completed between September 2007 and April 2008.

Compendium of Publicly Available Datasets and Other Data-Related Resources. The National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities has compiled a Compendium of Publicly Available Datasets and Other Data-Related Resources (Compendium). This free resource details publicly available data relevant to research and programs aiming to reduce health disparities. The Compendium compiles in one place descriptions of and links to public datasets and resources that include information about health conditions and other factors that impact the health of minority populations. https://www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/NPA/Materials/FIHET_Data_Compendium_508_version_FINAL_11_28_2016.pdf
