Description
For persons who reported having an ingrown toenail during the past 12 months, PODCNAILST indicates whether the person still has an ingrown toenail, whether the problem has gone away, or whether the status of the problem is unknown.
PODCNAILST is part of the NHIS Podiatry Supplement, introduced in 1990. The purpose of this supplement is to obtain current data concerning problems with the feet, access to foot care, and the amount, frequency, and type of foot care obtained.
