Description

For sample adults who have had at least one alcoholic drink in their entire life (ALCDRINKEV), ALCANYTPE reports the type of time units (every day or per week, month, or year) for the frequency with which the person drinks alcohol, edited for consistency. In ALCANYTPE, inconsistent time periods, such as greater than 7 days per week or greater than 31 days per month, are recoded to a value of "inconsistent." Values coded as "inconsistent" on ALCANYTPE are also coded as "inconsistent" on ALCANYNOE. ALCANYTPE should be paired with ALCANYNOE (Frequency drank alcohol in past year: Edited number of units) to obtain the complete frequency of alcohol consumption. Unedited values of the type of time units for the frequency with which the person drinks alcohol can be found in the variable, ALCANYTP.

Beginning in 2020, ALCANYTP is collected as part of the rotating core of NHIS alcohol use questions, fielded every other year. For more information about the NHIS alcohol use rotating core, please see ALCDRINKEV.
