Codes and Frequencies
Description
For sample children, EYEXAMEV indicates if the individual has ever had their vision tested by a doctor or other health professional. Please see the Universe tab for changes in universe over time.
For those who answered affirmatively, a follow-up question asked the number of months since their vision was last tested (EYEXAMOS).
Comparability
Please see the Universe tab for changes in universe over time; this may affect comparability.
In addition to changes in universe, 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.
