Description
For all current or institutionalized persons who have ever been diagnosed with asthma (ASTHMAEV), ASTHEPISDERD indicates when the person's last episode of asthma was.
Collection frequency for ASTHEPISDERD changes over time. From 2008-2016 this question was asked in rounds 1 and 3 for panels in relative year 1 and rounds 3 and 5 for panels in relative year 2. In 2020 and 2021 this variable was also collected multiple times across the panels extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2017-2019 and 2022, this question was only asked once per year and those responses are recorded in the annual-level variable ASTHEPISDE.
ASTHEPISDERD is one of several asthma-related questions included in the Priority Conditions Enumeration (PE) section. For a complete list of these variables, please see the variable description for ASTHMAEV.
