Description
For sample adults, LVISGENERAL indicates if the respondent saw a general doctor on the last health care visit.
Other health care providers mentioned are:
- Specialist
- (LVISPECIAL)
- Nurse practitioner or physician assistant
- (LVISNURSE)
- Other health provider
- (LVISOTHER)
In 2011, a different variable LVISGENSPEC asked the same question, but the response did not have nurse practitioner/physician assistant category.
This variable can be used to monitor the effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
