Abstract

Objectives This report describes the creation of the NHANES 2017-March 2020 prepandemic data files, including the selection of the appropriate NHANES sample design (2015-2018) to create sample weights and variance units for public-use data files. Additionally, the development of a factor applied to the primary sampling units to adjust the 2017-March 2020 data to fit the NHANES 2015-2018 sample design is described. Analyses to assess representativeness of the target population were performed, and a simulation to replicate the impact of interrupted data collection using earlier NHANES cycles was undertaken. Analytic guidance specific to use for prepandemic data files is also included. .
