Description
For sample persons aged 18 and older who have any children aged 10 to 17, AIDEDSCHL indicates if any of all of her/his children aged 10 through 17 had instructions at school about AIDS.
Please refer to the Universe and Comparability tabs for more detailed information on changes in the universe of this variable.
AIDEDSCHL is part of the NHIS supplement on AIDS knowledge and attitudes. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
Comparability
Changes in the universe affect the comparability of this variable between 1987 and subsequent years.
In 1987, this variable included sample adults who have any children aged 10 to 17 and who reported a time when they saw, heard, or read something about AIDS. In 1988 onward, this variable comprised of sample adults who have any children aged 10 to 17.
In 1988 onward, there are changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) that may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IHIS weights.
