Description
For sample adults aged 40 and older who ever had an office blood stool test, BSTOLGYRR2 is a recoded variable that indicates the number of years in grouped intervals since the last office blood stool test.
This is a time category recode for the time since the most recent office blood stool test. All available information was used and the recoded variable was pre-filled with the response to the time category question first, if available. These data are provided by the respondent and are not imputed. This variable uses the same information collected in 2000 and 2003, and the same estimation method used in 2005.
There is a similar version of this variable, BSTHLGYRR1, using the estimation method in 2000.
