The purpose of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is to obtain information about the amount and distribution of illness, its effects in terms of disability and chronic impairments, and the kinds of health services people receive. In 1985, the NHIS questionnaire included a special section, the Health Promotions and Disease Prevention (HPDP) supplement, that queried female respondents aged 18 through 44 who had had live births in the past five years about smoking during pregnancy. Their responses to the supplement are recorded in this dataset, along with other information about them derived from the HPDP and the 1985 core questionnaire (see HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1985 [ICPSR 8668]). Questions on smoking history during pregnancy included current pregnancy status, whether the respondent had ever smoked 100 cigarettes, whether she currently smoked, time elapsed since the respondent last smoked regularly, number of cigarettes the respondent smoked per day, whether the respondent smoked during pregnancy, number of cigarettes smoked before learning of pregnancy, number of cigarettes smoked after learning of pregnancy, whether the respondent smoked during most of last pregnancy, and whether the respondent was ever advised by a doctor to quit smoking. Other variables in the HPDP focus on health and fitness awareness, general health habits, injury control, child safety and health, high blood pressure, stress, exercise, smoking, alcohol use, dental care, and occupational safety and health. Variables from the core questionnaire include height, weight, age, race, sex, Hispanic origin, type of living quarters, region and metropolitan status of residence, marital status, veteran status, education, family income, health status, industry, occupation, activity limitation status, medical conditions, restricted activity days in the past two weeks, bed days in the past two weeks and past 12 months, time interval since the last doctor visit, and the number of doctor visits and short-stay hospital episodes in the past 12 months.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR09764.v1
