Research was undertaken to quantify the effects of costs of alternative methods for selecting sample women for the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). This report presents estimates of the effects of alternative design options, obtained by statistical modeling techniques, for linking the NSFG with the NHIS; the cost data and the statistical precision of estimates were based on data from the NSFG, Cycle IV. The estimated survey costs and projected response rates for alternative linked design options and for the unlinked design are compared for fixed precision. The findings confirm that substantial gains in the NSFG design efficiency were obtained by linking the NSFG sample design to that of the NHIS.
开展了一项研究，以量化从国家健康访谈调查（NHIS）中为全国家庭成长调查（NSFG）选择样本女性的替代方法的成本影响。本报告介绍了通过统计建模技术获得的将NSFG与NHIS相联系的替代设计方案的影响估计；成本数据和估计的统计精度基于NSFG第四轮的数据。针对固定精度，比较了替代链接设计方案和非链接设计的估计调查成本和预计回复率。研究结果证实，通过将NSFG样本设计与NHIS的样本设计相联系，NSFG的设计效率有了显著提高。
