About This Product

The National Survey of Self-Care and Aging (NSSCA) is a population-based, national longitudinal survey of noninstitutionalized Medicare beneficiaries. It employed a multistage stratified random sample design to represent the population of Medicare beneficiaries in the contiguous United States who were not institutionalized (residing in a nursing home, rest home, or other full-care facility) and who were at least 65 years of age in 1990. The survey was conducted in two waves. The baseline survey was an in-person survey and was conducted between 1990 and 1991. The follow-up survey was a telephone survey and was conducted in 1994. The objective of the baseline survey was to develop a national database on self-care behaviors practiced by noninstitutional elderly adults. The objective of the followup survey was to continue examination of the health status and self-care practices of individuals who were interviewed at baseline. Data from the baseline survey and follow-up survey have been merged into one dataset. The resulting dataset contains 1,234 variables collected from 3,485 respondents.
