2010 OFHS Survey
2010 OFHS Survey
The 2010 Ohio Family Health Survey (OFHS) focused on gauging the level of economic stress on Ohio families and how that stress was impacting Ohio’s health system and indicators of health. Considering the recession and growth in unemployment, it was a tool to measure the health needs of Ohioans since the severe economic downturn that began in late 2008. The 2010 OFHS provided data comparable to the 2008, 2004, and 1998 surveys in order to assess changes over time. The 2010 OFHS had a sample size of8,276 adult interviews and 2,002 child interviews (via proxy adult).
Survey Data
Two datasets and associated documentation are available:
- The public use file (PUF) contains data collected from the adult and child questionnaires.
- The public analytics file (PAF) contains analysis-ready variables constructed from the PUF. These variables account for skip patterns, allow for easy calculations, and provide clearly labelled categorical variables. Details on how each variable is constructed can be found in the associated reference book.
To download the OMAS PUF or PAF, please use our PUF/PAF request form.

Design and Methods
The 2010 OFHS was a stratified, list-assisted random-digit-dial sample from a cell phone and landline dual frame. It included an oversample of African Americans. Survey weights were developed to support estimates that could be generalized to the non-institutionalized Ohio adult and child populations.

Below is a list of reports, briefs, and presentations that address key findings from the 2010 OMAS. For any research using data from the 2010 OFHS, a research plan should be specified that includes primary hypotheses and corresponding statistical analysis strategies.
