Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Enhancing Data Collection from "Other Language" Households Authors: Mary Cay Murray, Mike Battaglia, Jessica Cardoni, Abt Associates Inc. The national Immunization Survey (NIS) measures vaccination coverage among children aged 19-35 months in the U.S., the 50 states, and 28 urban areas. The NIS is conducted by Abt Associates for the National Immunization Program and the National Centers for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It uses a random-digit-dial telephone survey to identify age-eligible chcildren. The NIS samples over 3 million telephone numbers annually, makes over 12 million calls, identifies 900,000 households, and interviews over 34,000 parents/guardians with age-eligible children. Screening and interviewing are conducted in Spanish as well as English. Since 1995, the NIS has used the AT&T Language line to include households in the study that do not speak either English or Spanish, i.e. "other language" households. This AT&T service provides simultaneous translations for telephone calls in many languages. By taking advantage of this service, the NIS is able to include many households that would otherwise be excluded from the survey. In this paper, we examine the languages that are most commonly used in the NIS and the chanages in the use of those languages over the years. We look at the impact of using the AT&T Language Line on the screening, interviewing, and provider consent rates for the NIS. We also examine the impact of the use of this service on the etimation of vaccination rates for the United States as a whole, for the 4 Census regions and for specific IAP areas with relatively large numbers of households using this service.
