Description

For all injury/poisoning episodes that reportedly occurred during the past 3 months, IRIPSTU reports whether the person who experienced the injury or poisoning was a full-time student, part-time student or not a student at the time of this injury or poisoning.
IRIPSTU is an injury-level variable.

IRIPSTU is part of a series of variables initiated in 1997 that systematically report persons' injuries and poisonings, the cause, what the person was doing while sustaining the injury or poisoning, and where she/he was at the time of the injury or poisoning. For related variables and additional information, please see the User note on Injuries and Poisonings or use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.

Comparability

Prior to 2000, persons were asked about injuries and poisonings separately, so IRIPSTU refers only to injury episodes from 1997 to 1999.
