Description
For sample children ages 4-17 (in 1981) or 5-17 (in 1988), BPCONFLTECH indicates how frequently it was true that the sample child had trouble getting along with teachers in the past 3 months; response categories include often true, sometimes true, or not true.
This variable is from the child health supplement; beginning in 1981, this supplement includes a 32-item behavioral problem index. These questions are used to generate individual behavioral problem indexes and an overall behavioral problem index. For more information on the behavioral problem index variables, please see BPANTSY, or use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
Comparability
The universe for the Behavior Problems Index questions differs slightly between years. In 1981, the questions were asked about sample children 4 years of age and older. In 1988, the questions were asked about sample children 5 years of age and older.
In 1981 (BPDISOBEYS) and (BPCONFLTECH) had a separate category indicating that the sample child never attended school, stopped going to school 12 or more months ago, or reported not going to school. In 1988, sample children for whom these questions were not applicable because they didn't attend school were instead treated as NIU.
