Description

For adults aged 18 and older, ADCAPE indicates how much of the time the respondent felt calm and peaceful in the last four weeks. ADCAPE is one of a set of variables comprising the Short-Form 12 Version 2 measure of health status on the SAQ. For related variables and more information, please see ADDAYA.

Comparability

Beginning in 2017, MEPS transitioned to using the Veteran's Rand 12-item (VR-12) measure of health status instead of the SF-12, and replaced ADCAPE with the variable ADPCFL. ADPCFL is identical to ADCAPE except that, instead of using a five-point response scale, it uses a six-point response scale.
