Description
ALCRISKBLADC is part of a series of questions that assesses sample persons age 18 and over belief whether "heavy alcohol drinking" increases the chances of various conditions. Persons were asked if heavy drinking definitely increases, probably increases, probably does not, or definitely does not increase a person's chances of getting bladder cancer.
Other variables in this series include: ALCRISKARTH, ALCRISKCIRR, ALCRISKCLOT, ALCRISKMOC, and ALCRISKTHROC.
Heavy drinking was respondent defined.
ALCRISKBLADC was part of a supplement on Health Prevention and Disease Promotion periodically included in the NHIS which helped measure national goals towards the Health People Initiative of the U.S. Surgeon General.
