Description
For sample adults ages 18 and older who have ever had a diagnosis for a swallowing problem that lasted a week or longer, VSLSWNEURO reports whether the respondent's swallowing problem was caused by a neurological cause (e.g., Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, post-polio syndrome, dementia, etc.).
VSLSWNEURO is part of the Adult Voice, Speech and Language Supplement. For related variables and more information, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus, or see VSLDIAG, which reports on diagnosis, VSLVDAYS, which reports on the problem duration and extent, and VSLVSLPYR, which reports on treatment.
