Description

For sample children ages 5-17 who have ever been asked to have a non-routine school conference about problems the sample child was having, SCONFTIMR is a recoded variable that reports the time since the last non-routine conference, in intervals.

SCONFTIMR is part of the Child Health supplement, first released in 1981. This supplement includes a number of questions on child's schooling. For more information and related variables, please see GOSCHOOLEV, or use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.

Slight changes in interval coding may affect comparability between years. Researchers should look closely at response category intervals before making comparisons.
