Description
For persons aged under 18 in the National Health Interview Survey-Disability Survey (NHIS-D) Phase I sample who currently receives physical or occupational therapy at home for a condition that has lasted or is expected to last for 12 or more months, where the therapist is not a parent or unpaid volunteer, and it was previously indicated that the therapy was paid, DPHOMT4PAY3 indicates whether another family member not in the household pays for this therapy from the fourth therapist.
In 1994 and 1995, this variable is part of the Disability Supplement (NHIS-D) that collects information on disability. NHIS-D included two household interviews: in Phase I all members of sample families were screened for any indication of disability; in Phase II persons with any indication of disability were followed-up for additional information. Phase I includes sensory, communication, and mobility problems; health conditions; activities of daily living and independent activities of daily living; functional limitations; mental health; services and benefits; special health needs of children; early child development; education; relationship to respondent; and perceived disability. Phase II includes four Disability Followback Survey (DFS) questionnaires: one for children, one for adults, one for elderly persons (69 years of age and over) without any indication of disability (also called the Supplement on Aging or SOA; only in 1994), and one for persons with a history of polio.
