Description

For sample adults who have ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that they have a seizure disorder or epilepsy (EPILEPSYEV), EPILRXNOW indicates if the person is currently taking any medicine to control their seizure disorder or epilepsy.

For a list of related variables and more information on epilepsy, see EPILEPSYEV.

Comparability

Comparability may be affected by the 2019 questionnaire redesign. 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.
