Description
For sample adults, VISIONREHAB reports if the person used any vision rehabilitation services, such as "job training, counseling, or training in daily living skills and mobility." Please see the Universe tab for notable changes in universe over time.
This variable is included in the Sample Adult Vision Supplement, sponsored by the National Eye Institute.
Comparability
In addition to changes in universe, the NHIS questionnaire was substantially redesigned in 2019 to introduce a different data collection structure and new content. For more information on changes in terminology, universes, and data collection methods beginning in 2019, please see the user note.
