Description
For sample children under age 18 who have at least eight specific listed health conditions, KIDCSTAT8 reports the current status of the eighth condition listed. If it was reported that the child is bothered by the eighth condition "all the time" or if the child is reported to still have the condition, but it is not completely cured or under control, the response was classified as "still has condition." The Field Representative's Manual defined "under control" as referring to "situations in which persons, by following a certain diet, taking medicine, and so forth, no longer have the symptoms of the condition. However, if they were to stop doing these things, the symptoms might recur." For details on the eighth condition, see KIDC8.
KIDCSTAT8 was introduced in 1981 as part of the Child Health Supplement. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function or drop-down menus.
