Description
For all injury/poisoning episodes that occurred in the past 3 months, IRMEDOFFCLNC reports whether or not the injured person received medical advice, treatment, or follow up care from a visit to a clinic, outpatient department, or doctor's office for this injury or poisoning.
IRMEDOFFCLNC is an injury-level variable.
IRMEDOFFCLNC 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 2004, respondents were asked where they sought medical attention for the reported injury or poisoning. Responses were recorded as "Mentioned" or "Not Mentioned" for each medical resource the respondent named. Starting in 2004, respondents were asked directly about where they sought medical advice, and responses were recorded as "Yes" or "No". During this shift, the wording of the question and the wording of the responses were changed. For example, prior to 2004, responses to IRMEDOFFCLNC were coded as "Mentioned" or "Not Mentioned", whereas for 2004-onward, respondents answered directly "Yes" or "No". Prior to 2004, IRMEDOFFCLNC includes visits to clinics, outpatient departments, and doctor's offices, but only includes doctor's offices and clinics in samples 2004 and onward.
