Description
For sample adults ages 18 and over who have never been tested for HIV, ATNOCONFID reports if the person was not tested for HIV because she/he does not believe that the results are confidential.
Comparability
In 1994 and 1995, the original NHIS response categories included "mentioned", "not mentioned", and "had no particular reason". Persons who responded that they had no particular reason are included among the "not mentioned" responses in the integrated IPUMS NHIS variable.
Changes in survey design (e.g. quarters or subsamples) affect raw frequencies but do not affect comparability between samples. As always, data users should apply prescribed IHIS weights. Otherwise there are no comparability issues.
