Description
For sample persons age 18 and older in 1988-1995, and, in 1987, sample persons age 18 and older who reported when they last saw, heard, or read something about AIDS or ever heard of AIDS, AIDCOUGH indicates how likely the person thinks it is that a person will get AIDS, or the AIDS virus, from being coughed or sneezed on by someone who has the AIDS virus.
