Description
For all injuries caused by an animal or insect bite that occurred within the past 3 months, IRANIMAL clarifies the type of animal or insect bite that caused the bite-related injury.
IRANIMAL is an injury-level variable.
IRANIMAL is part of a series of variables initiated in 1997 that systematically report persons' injuries and poisonings, the cause, what the person was doing while sustaining the injury or poisoning, and where she/he was at the time of the injury or poisoning. For related variables and additional information, please see the User Note on Injuries and Poisonings or use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
