Description

For sample adults and sample children ages 6 to 17, EYEINJACT indicates whether the person participated in sports, hobbies, or other (non-work) activities that can cause eye injury. For sample adults, the question gave as examples "activities such as baseball, basketball, mowing the lawn, woodworking, or working with chemicals." For sample children, the question gave as examples "activities such as baseball, basketball, soccer, and mowing the lawn."

Those with an affirmative response to EYEINJACT were asked the follow-up question, "When doing these activities, on average, do you/does sample child wear eye protection always, most of the time, some of the time, or none of the time?" (EYEPROTECT)
