Description
For sample persons aged 40 and over who had ever had a chest x-ray, but did not know the month and year of the last x-ray (exact date), CXRAYTIMTP reports the time period (in days, weeks, months or years) since the last chest x-ray.
CXRAYTIMTP should be used in conjunction with CXRAYTIMNO, which reports the number of time units.
CXRAYTIMTP is part of a series of variables introduced in 1992 dealing with adult cancer. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus
