Description
For sample adults who missed at least one day of work with a significant repetitive strain injury in the past 3 months or don't know if they did (INJREPSGMSWK), INJREPSGFTWK reports if they expect to miss more days of work in the future due to significant repetitive strain injury.
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.
INJREPSGFTWK 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.
