Description
For sample females ages 40 and older who have had a breast physical exam in the past three years because of a health problem, BREXWHYFOLUP reports whether the health problem that led to the exam was follow-up tests/treatment. Other possible reasons included complications related to breastfeeding, soreness, swelling, lumps, pain, discharge, or an unrelated medical problem.
BREXWHYFOLUP was first introduced as part of a supplement on cancer control. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
