The data collection instruments and a chart summarizing weighting and sample variance estimation variables for all NHES surveys are contained in appendixes to Volume I. Volumes II, III, and IV of the manual each address one data file, the ECPP, ASPA, and AELL files, respectively. They each contain a guide to the data file, a discussion of data considerations and anomalies and, in appendixes, the file layout, derived variable specifications, the codebook for the file, and directions and sample code for linking the NHES:2001 files.
