Codes and Frequencies
Description
For sample adults, FRYCHKTP reports the time unit (day, week, month, or year) that corresponds with the frequency with which the respondent reported eating fried chicken. FRYCHKTP should be used in conjunction with FRYCHKNO, which reports the corresponding frequency stated by the respondent. For information about the portion size, see FRYCHKSIZ.
FRYCHKTP is part of a series of variables initiated in 1987 related to food, food knowledge, and cancer. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
Comparability
Apart from changes in the universe, there are no comparability issues. Changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IHIS weights.
