s part of an ongoing partnership with the Census Bureau, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) recently added questions to assess the prevalence of post-COVID-19 conditions (long COVID), on the experimental Household Pulse Survey. This 20-minute online survey was designed to complement the ability of the federal statistical system to rapidly respond and provide relevant information about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. Data collection began on April 23, 2020.
Beginning in Phase 3.5 (on June 1, 2022), NCHS included questions about the presence of symptoms of COVID that lasted three months or longer. Beginning in Phase 3.6 (on September 14, 2022), NCHS included a question about whether long-term symptoms among those reporting symptoms lasting three months or longer reduced the ability to carry out day-to-day activities compared with the time before having COVID-19. Phase 3.6 will continue with a two-weeks on, two-weeks off collection and dissemination approach.
Estimates on this page are derived from the Household Pulse Survey and show the following outcomes for adults aged 18 and over:
The percentage of all U.S. adults who EVER experienced post-COVID conditions (long COVID). These adults had COVID and had some symptoms that lasted three months or longer.
The percentage of adults who EVER experienced post-COVID conditions (long COVID) among those who ever had COVID .
The percentage of all U.S. adults who are CURRENTLY experiencing post-COVID conditions (long COVID). These adults had COVID, had long-term symptoms, and are still experiencing symptoms.
The percentage of adults who are CURRENTLY experiencing post-COVID conditions (long COVID) among those who ever had COVID.
Beginning in Phase 3.6:
The percentage of any activity limitations (either ‘yes, a little’ or ‘yes, a lot’ responses) from long COVID, among adults who are currently experiencing long COVID and among all adults
The percentage of significant activity limitations (‘yes, a lot’ response) from long COVID, among adults who are currently experiencing long COVID and among all adults
The percentage of all U.S. adults who ever said they had COVID is also included to provide context for the other percentages. It should be noted that the percentage of adults who said they ever had COVID based on the Household Pulse Survey is lower than other estimates based on seroprevalence studies.
See the technical notes for more information on these measures.
Questions on post-COVID conditions (long COVID) were also included on the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) in 2022. The NHIS, conducted by NCHS, is the major source for high-quality data used to monitor the nation’s health. NHIS data collection will continue through December 2024.
