Description
For female sample adults age 18 to 64 who received a vaccine for human papilloma virus (HPV) and could not recall the date of the last shot or selected "years ago" for time since last shot (HPVACLTP), HPVACLYR is a recoded variable that reports the time in categories of years since the woman received her last HPV shot.
Women who did not know the month or year are not-in-universe for HPVACLYR, but could have responses coded in the "time period" format, which reports the time in number (HPVACLNO) and units of days, weeks months or years (HPVACLTP).
This variable was first introduced in the 2010 Cancer Control Supplement.
