Description
For sample persons or adults who were ever told they have high blood pressure, HYPMEDEV reports if medicine was ever prescribed by a doctor to lower blood pressure.
Comparability
Apart from changes in the universe, there are no comparability issues. Changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IPUMS NHIS weights.
Universe
