Description
BALWNAUS reports whether the person had nausea or vomiting around the same time as the dizziness or balance problem. Please see the Universe tab for information on how the universe changes over time.
This variable was part of the Sample Adult Balance Supplement, sponsored by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
Comparability
Please see the Universe tab for information on how the universe for this variable changed over time. In 2008, this variable corresponds to whether the action triggers the most bothersome dizziness symptom (BALSBOTHER). In 2016, the question refers more generally to whether the action usually triggers dizziness or balance problem(s); otherwise this variable is largely comparable over time.
