Description

HEALTHCLASPL reports the location of the health class that the respondent attended in the previous 12 months. In 1995, this question was asked of sample adults 65 years and older who did not have meals delivered by an organization (or for whom it is unknown whether the respondent had meals delivered) and who participated in a class on health topics in the past 12 months (HEALTHCLASYR). In 1998, this question was asked of sample adults 65 years and older who took a class on health topics in the past 12 months (HEALTHCLASYR).

The survey form from 1995 and 1998 direct the interviewer to probe for the most recent location if the respondent reports attending multiple health classes.
