The Census Bureau does not offer the opportunity for any add-ons. What
you might be thinking about is the FHWA National Household Travel
Survey. This is a nation-wide household travel survey done every 5+
years when they can scrape the funding together. For a small price
states and regional planning agencies can purchase additional samples
(add-ons) for their areas. The next NHTS is being fielded right now.
For more information on the current NHTS and the data from the past ones
visit, http://nhts.ornl.gov/.
Elizibeth--I will send you the contact information for the NHTS project
manager under a separate email.

Hi, Ed. Thanks for your info on health. Very
timely!
Question for you: With the next census just a few years away, is there info starting to
be available on "add ons" as in past? I'm starting to think about how I can
prepare my agency, and get budget requests together.

Subject: [H+T--Friends] Metrics That Matter for Population Health Action: Workshop
Summary
Also in today's TRB e-newletter.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has
released a report that summarizes the presentations and discussions from
a workshop to explore the status and uses of measures and measurement in
the work of improving population health. Participants explored existing
and emerging population health metric sets and characteristics of
metrics necessary for stakeholder action across multiple sectors. In
times of rapid change and constrained resources, measures that are
important, focused, and reliable are vital. However there is an
overabundance of measures available for evaluating various aspects of
population health and previous efforts to simplify existing sets to meet
the needs of all decision makers have been unsuccessful. TRB is part of
the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, which
provides independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and
conducts other activities to solve complex problems and inform public
policy decisions. The Academies also encourage education and research,
recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public
understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.
