Description
For sample adults and (beginning in 2016) sample children who were ever told by a doctor or other health professional of the cause(s) of their dizziness or balance problem (BALHPDIAG), BALCMENIER indicates whether Meniere's disease was one of the causes.
This variable was part of the Sample Adult and Sample Child Balance Supplement, sponsored by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
