Description
For sample adults, LVISAPTWATTP reports the time period waiting between the time the respondent made the appointment and the day he or she actually saw the doctor or other health professional on the last health care visit. LVISAPTWATTP corresponds to the number of time units given in LVISAPTWATNO.
This variable can be used to monitor the effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
