目的：美国劳工统计局于2003年启动的美国时间使用调查（American Time Use Survey，简称TIME）首次全面考察了个人如何度过时间。卫生服务研究人员可以用它来研究花在各种健康相关活动上的时间。我们解释了调查的结构，并提供了一个概述的34,693名受访者在2003 - 2004年报告的健康相关活动。方法：对于调查，计算机辅助电话访问者要求受访者年龄15岁或以上的报告他们的活动在前一天的电话（他们的“指定的一天”），包括他们在哪里，谁和他们在一起。活动被分配6位数代码，分为17个主要类别。相关的等待和旅行时间有单独的代码。某些家庭类型的过抽样，以确保可靠的estimates. Results：在2003 - 2004年，11.3%的美国成年人报告花费时间（平均108分钟）在活动上与健康有关的指定一天。约5.6%的人报告了个人健康自我护理（86分钟）; 3.4%的人报告了医疗和护理服务（123分钟）;约1%的人报告了与家庭儿童、家庭成年人和非家庭成年人的健康有关的活动（78 - 115分钟）。保健相关活动的普及率随着年龄的增长而上升。体育，锻炼和娱乐报道的受访者（114分钟），男性比女性更有可能报告这些activity.Conclusions：的的ESTA，一个新的公开可用的资源，使研究人员能够探索的因素，影响时间投入到健康相关的活动，以及它们之间的关系和其他活动，在一个全国代表性的样本。
Objectives: The Bureau of Labor Statistics' American Time Use Survey (ATUS), launched in 2003, offers the first comprehensive look at how individuals spend their time. Health services researchers can use it to study time spent on a variety of health-related activities. We explain the survey's structure and provide an overview of the health-related activities reported by 34,693 respondents in 2003-2004.Methods: For the ATUS, computer-assisted phone interviewers ask respondents age 15 or older to report their activities during the day before the call (their "designated day"), including where they were and who was with them. Activities are assigned 6-digit codes, grouped into 17 major categories. Associated waiting and travel time have separate codes. Certain household types are oversampled to ensure reliable estimates.Results: In 2003-2004, 11.3% of American adults reported spending time (mean, 108 minutes) on activities related to health on their designated day. Some 5.6% reported personal health self-care (86 minutes); 3.4% reported medical and care services (123 minutes); and about 1% each reported activities related to the health of household children, household adults, and nonhousehold adults (78-115 minutes). The prevalence of health-care related activities rose with age. Sports, exercise, and recreation were reported by 17.6% of respondents (114 minutes), with men more likely than women to report these activities.Conclusions: The ATUS, a new publicly available resource, allows researchers to explore factors that influence time devoted to health-related activities, and the relationships among them and other activities, in a nationally representative sample.
