Comparability
In 2010, a code of 3 indicated the respondent had a breast MRI because their healthcare provider told them they were high risk. Beginning in 2023, this code indicates the respondent is high risk for a variety of possible reasons, including family history, genetic test, or another reason.
The NHIS questionnaire was substantially redesigned in 2019 to introduce a different data collection structure and new content. For more information on changes in terminology, universes, and data collection methods beginning in 2019, please see the user note.
