Description

For sample persons ages 18 and over who expect to have a blood test for the AIDS virus infection in the next twelve months, ATRNYRHOSP reports if the respondent expects to have the blood test because it will be part of a hospitalization or surgery the person expects to have.

Comparability

There are no comparability issues with this 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 IPUMS NHIS weights.
