Description

For sample adults ages 18 and older, CANTLNO reports the frequency with which the respondent ate cantaloupe in season in the past year. CANTLNO should be used in conjunction with CANTLTP, which reports the corresponding time unit stated by the respondent. Researchers may also want to use CANTLSIZ, which reports the corresponding portion size.

CANTLNO is part of a series of variables initiated in 1987 related to food, food knowledge, and cancer. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.

Comparability

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 IHIS weights.
