This methods report provides an overview of the National Survey of Residential Care Facilities (NSRCF) conducted in 2010. NSRCF is a first-ever national probability sample survey that collects data on U.S. residential care providers, their staffs and services, and their residents. Included are residential care facilities consisting of assisted living residences; board and care homes; congregate care; enriched housing programs; homes for the aged; personal care homes; and shared housing establishments that are licensed, registered, listed, certified, or otherwise regulated by a state. A survey-specific definition was used to select residential care facilities into the study. This report discusses the need for and objectives of the survey, design process, survey methods, and data availability.
In 2008, a small pilot study and a pretest were conducted to test and refine the survey protocol, data collection procedures, and questionnaires. NSRCF was conducted between March and November 2010. The survey used a two-stage probability sampling design in which residential care facilities were sampled. Then, depending on facility size, three to six current residents were sampled. In-person interviews were conducted with facility directors and designated staffs; no interviews were conducted with residents. The survey instrument contained a facility screening module, facility- and resident-level modules, a resident sampling module, and a pre-interview worksheet.
National data were collected on 2,302 facilities, and 8,094 current residents. The first-stage facility weighted response rate (for differential probabilities of selection) was 81%. The second-stage resident weighted response rate was 99%. Two public-use files will be released. The facility and resident files include sampling weights to generate national estimates, and design variables to calculate accurate standard errors.
本方法报告概述了2010年进行的全国寄宿护理机构调查（NSRCF）。NSRCF是有史以来首次进行的全国概率抽样调查，收集有关美国寄宿护理服务提供者、其员工和服务以及其居民的数据。其中包括由辅助生活住所、寄宿护理院、集体护理机构、强化住房项目、养老院、个人护理院以及由州许可、注册、登记、认证或以其他方式监管的共享住房机构组成的寄宿护理机构。使用了特定于调查的定义来选择纳入研究的寄宿护理机构。本报告讨论了调查的必要性和目标、设计过程、调查方法以及数据可用性。
2008年进行了一项小型试点研究和预测试，以测试和完善调查方案、数据收集程序和问卷。NSRCF于2010年3月至11月进行。该调查采用两阶段概率抽样设计，对寄宿护理机构进行抽样。然后，根据机构规模，抽取三至六名现住居民。对机构主任和指定员工进行了面对面访谈；未对居民进行访谈。调查工具包括一个机构筛选模块、机构和居民层面的模块、一个居民抽样模块以及一份访谈前工作表。
收集了2302家机构和8094名现住居民的全国数据。第一阶段机构加权应答率（针对不同的选择概率）为81%。第二阶段居民加权应答率为99%。将发布两个公共使用文件。机构和居民文件包括用于生成全国估计值的抽样权重以及用于计算准确标准误差的设计变量。
