In late 1982, the Bureau of the Census and the National Center for Health Statistics formed the Joint Agency Telephone Survey Task Force to plan a three-year program of research and development leading to the implementation of random-digit-dialing (RDD) sampling techniques (via a dual frame design) in the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). In their final report and three year plan, the Task Force recommended that a feasibility study be conducted during the first quarter of 1984 to investigate a number of major issues involving the use of RDD in the NHIS. Subsequently, the 1984 NHIS/RDD Feasibility Study was conducted. The sample for the study consisted of about 1500 telephone households for each of two questionnaire versions. The data collection phase for this study was late January to May of 1984.
