The continuous National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey began data collection in 1999 and proceeded without interruption until operations were suspended in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Once the Division of Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys was able to determine and resume safe field operations, the next survey cycle was conducted between August 2021 and August 2023. This report describes the survey content, procedures, and methodologies implemented in the August 2021-August 2023 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycle.
