Comparability

In 1989, this inquiry was directed at sample persons age 18 years and older who would not participate in public health blood test or for whom it was unknown whether they would participate (PHSSTUDYN), and in 1988 it was asked of the same group in only quarters 2 through 4. Aside from changes in the universe, there are no comparability problems with PHSNOCOUN. As always, data users should use the prescribed IPUMS NHIS weights.
