Description
For sample adults and sample children who still have asthma (ASTHMASTIL) or who had an asthma episode/attack in the past 12 months (ASTHATAKYR), and who were advised to change things in their home, school, or work to improve their asthma (ASTHCHEN), ASTHCHENYES reports how much (none, a little, some, most, or all) of the advice to change the environment they (or, in the case of sample children, their parent or guardian) followed.
Other asthma-related questions were periodically included in the survey; see ASTHMAEV for a summary of these variables currently in the IPUMS NHIS.
