Description

For sample persons age 18 and older who have discussed AIDS with a friend or relative, 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 and have discussed AIDS with a friend or relative, AIDTALKNO indicates the number of time units since the person last discussed AIDS with a friend or relative. When used in combination with AIDTALKTP, users can determine the amount of time since the sample person last discussed AIDS with a friend or relative.

This variable 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 survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IHIS weights.
