Comparability
Minor changes in universe between years decrease direct comparability of this variable over time. Please see the Universe tab for more information.
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 IPUMS NHIS weights.
