Description
For persons who reported at least four foot problems during the past 12 months, PODSTPROB4 indicates whether the person still has the fourth foot problem, whether the fourth problem has gone away, or whether the status of the fourth problem is unknown.
PODSTPROB4 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.
