NHIA Derived Hisp Origin

IDENTIFIERS

CCR ID

NAACCR ID

191

DESCRIPTION

The NAACCR Hispanic Identification Algorithm (NHIA) uses a combination of NAACCR variables to directly or indirectly classify cases as Hispanic for analytic purposes. The algorithm uses the following NAACCR standard variables:

The CCR will be generating this value by examining the primary last name, all alias last names, all maiden names, and all DC fathers surnames.

HISTORICAL CHANGES

1/05 Added data item to Eureka for more efficiency. Previously was generated for tape submissions.
12/08 IHS Link added to algorithm for 2009 data changes to reflect NHIA Version 2.1 minor changes. Cases coded as Hispanic NOS (value 6) may now be coded to a more specific Hispanic group based on birthplace. Previously, this was only true of cases coded as 0, 7 or 9. The IHS link variable (NAACCR #192) is required for the algorithm, and cases where IHS=1 are excluded from NHIA. This is because American Indians/Alaska Natives are excluded from NHIA by rule.
2010 Data Changes: Updated Source documentation.
