Description

For sample adults ages 18 and older, STEWBNO reports the frequency with which the respondent ate beef stew or beef pot pie with vegetables in the past year. STEWBNO should be used in conjunction with STEWBTP, which reports the corresponding time unit stated by the respondent. Researchers may also want to use STEWBSIZ, which reports the corresponding portion size.

STEWBNO is part of a series of variables initiated in 1987 related to food, food knowledge, and cancer. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
