Description
For sample children under age 18 who have at least ten specific listed health conditions, KIDCHRON10 is a recoded variable, which reports whether the tenth condition listed was chronic or not. Chronic was defined as a condition lasting three months or longer (or since birth, for infants less than three months old), which has not been cured. For details on the tenth condition, see KIDC10.
KIDCHRON10 was introduced in 1981 as part of the Child Health Supplement. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function or drop-down menus.
