Description

For persons with disabilities age three and older who need changes made to their residence due to their disability, LAHNOTHER indicates whether the required change is something other than the addition of ramps or inclines, room additions, bathroom modifications, rails or bars in other parts of the house or outside, kitchen modifications, elevators or lifts, or air purifiers, humidifiers, or air conditioners.

LAHNOTHER was introduced in 1977 as part of a supplement on disability. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
