Description
For sample adults ages 18 and older who ever had a voice problem that lasted a week or longer, VSLVGERD reports if the person was told that her or his voice problems were caused by gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
VSLVGERD is part of the Adult Voice, Speech and Language Supplement. For related variables and more information, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus, or see VSLDIAG, which reports on diagnosis, VSLVDAYS, which reports on the problem duration and extent, and VSLVSLPYR, which reports on treatment.
