Description
For sample adults and sample children, TBICONDAZYR reports whether they have been knocked out, lost consciousness, been dazed or confused, or had a gap in memory due to a blow or jolt to the head in the past 12 months. If necessary, interviewers prompted respondents to "[p]lease think about all head injuries, for example, from playing sports, car accidents, falls, or being hit by something or someone that may have occurred in the past 12 months."
TBICONDAZYR combines two variables, TBILOSTCONEV and TBIDAZEV, that were collected as part of an emerging content section introduced on the 2020 questionnaire about lifetime head injuries or concussions. For more variables on head injury or concussion, as well as other injury-related variables, please see INJANY.
The question associated with this variable was included in the Concussions - past 12 months section (TBI) sponsored by the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (CDC/NCIPC).
