Description

For sample adults with a significant repetitive strain injury in the past 3 months (INJREPSIG), INJREPSGDR reports whether, in the past 3 months, they talked to or saw a doctor or other health professional about their repetitive strain injuries.

Before the first question in the repetitive strain injury section, respondents were told:

[This] question is about repetitive strain injuries. By this, we mean injuries caused by repeating the same movement over an extended period. Examples include carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, or tendonitis.

INJREPSGDR is collected as part of the rotating core NHIS questions on repetitive strain injuries, fielded for two consecutive years every three years. For other core repetitive strain injury and injury-related variables, please see INJANY.
